A young jet pilot fighter Quim has great difficulty accepting that his recently born child is disabled. His mother advises him to see a witch doctor, but Quim refuses. Instead he looks for his former mistress Djamila. His mind is completely confused and he no longer can distinguish reality from fantasy. A metaphor of Angola after its independence.
