Abstract

Angola’s capital Luanda is plagued by scorching heat, and the city feels like it is suffocating. And at this very moment, air conditioning units are mysteriously falling off walls all over the place. Caretaker Matacedo and cleaning lady Zezinha are tasked with getting their boss’s air conditioner up and running again by the evening, by any means necessary. Their search for a solution leads them to the electrical shop owned by Kota Minos, who is secretly working on a machine to retrieve memory.

Angolan director Fradique and collective Geração80 have created a captivating universe filled with magical realism. In Luanda, the houses and their residents bear the marks of their history of civil war and reconstruction. AR CONDICIONADO invites you on a dream journey through the everyday life of this city – accompanied by a jazzy soundtrack.

In cooperation with Camões – Instituto da Cooperação e da Língua (Portugal) and Portugiesisch-Brasilianisches Institut der Universität zu Köln
