This condition ensured that we took on the production of the film without fear of making mistakes and also as an antidote to the idleness and uncertainty of the future. A good example is the stadium scene: when I wrote it, I imagined a crowd, but then Covid arrived and we couldn't even fit five people in. I was never afraid, because I know that reality and this mixture of magic forced me to find other ways of representing the same feeling. I know it may sound theoretical, but I think it's very real and rational. Because we're used to living like this in Angola. We have to make do with what we have, even for movies.
