Abstract
In Mozambique, the civil war causes devastation among the population. Amongst this chaos, young Muidinga dreams of finding his family. One day, he finds a diary on a lifeless body; it speaks of a woman searching for her son. Convinced that he’s the missing son, Muidinga decides to find her. On his journey he’s accompanied by an old man, Tuahir, always ready to tell a tale. Their journey is a battle, and turns them into somnambulists in a country devastated by war.
