Description:
Mozambique in 1989 is devastated by civil war. The train linking Nampula to Malawi offers a perilous lifeline for those risking everything to trade goods. Traveling slowly on damaged tracks, the journey is fraught with danger. Mariamu, a regular passenger, shares the ride with Rosa, a nurse experiencing the war's harsh reality for the first time, Lieutenant Taiar, who has only known military life, and Salomão, another soldier with whom he has a strained relationship. Amidst violence and moments of levity, stories of love and war emerge as the train moves forward.
