FROM MOMA WEB PAGE:
Terra Sonâmbula (Sleepwalking Land). 2007. Mozambique. Directed by Teresa Prata. Screenplay by Teresa Prata, based on a story by Mia Couto. With Nick Lauro Teresa, Aladino Jasse, Hélio Fumo, Ilda Gonzalez. In the midst of Mozambique's devastating civil war, Muidinga, an orphaned refugee, happens upon a dead man's diary. Reading the diary to his elderly friend Tuahir, Muidinga learns of a woman who is searching for her son, and he becomes convinced that he is the long-lost son she seeks. The pair go off in search of the woman, only to return to the same spot over and over again—where Muidinga's story and the diary's tale come together at last. Featuring remarkable, unsentimental performances, Prata's drama pits compassion, resilience, and imagination against the bitter realities of war. In Portuguese; English subtitles. 97 min.
