Angola. Three generations of women in a 25-year-long civil war: Lelena (the grandmother), Nayola (the daughter) and Yara (the granddaughter). Past and present interlace. Nayola goes in search of her missing husband at the height of the war. Decades later, the country is finally at peace but Nayola has not returned. Yara has become a rebellious teenager and a subversive rap singer. Lelena tries to contain her for fear of the police coming to arrest her. One night, a masked intruder breaks into their house, armed with a machete. An encounter like nothing they could have imagined.

The War made by Men that in no way serves them, only confuses them - "Why are you fighting on the wrong side? / But what's the story of the wrong side?" - similar to the punishment pronounced by God on the "builders" of the Tower of Babel, each with their own language, non-communicative and unconsciously in disagreement. Fortunately, this animation lets us breathe… and moreover, gives us time to conquer and not plunder ourselves. It was worth waiting for "Nayola," another certification that Portuguese animation has always been GREAT, the country has just always been small.
