SYNOPSIS
In Bafatá, Guinea-Bissau, Canjajá Mané, a former cinema operator and guard of the city's club, has repeated the same gestures for fifty years. But today, the cinema is closed and there are no spectators. From his days as a worker at the club until now, only memories remain. In the city, only the stones, the trees, and the river have resisted the erosion of time. And with them, a few people who stayed to perpetuate in the memory of the world and of men that people once lived there. These are the people Canjajá seeks out and patiently waits for to this day.
