    • Synopsis
    • Joana lives in Brazil. She goes through a surgical process. Days later, she gets a message from her friend Kevin, who has returned to live in Uganda after 20 years away, living in Germany. Kevin invites her to visit. Joana goes to Jinja to see her friend and have a good time, but she has a hard time getting involved with the country and Kevin’s new life as a mother. Little by little, Joana opens up with Kevin and talks to her about the miscarriage of a baby and her father’s sickness. She has started understanding that life has an end. Kevin helps Joana to have fun, to appreciate Uganda and deep down the friendship is strengthened.
