Rui was raised in Mozambique in a small village at the frontier of a mysterious river. Son of Portuguese colonists, his best friend is Ana, a black girl godchild of his mother. Unfortunately, he will soon have to learn to recognize two distinct realities - the European and the African - which suddenly seem irreconcilable. At fourteen he is confronted with the tragic destruction of his childhood.

Lena, a little white girl and Ningo, a little black boy serving at Lena's parents house, grow together in the colonial Mozambique. Only the childhood's innocence will allow this friendship to remain indestructible when the storms of the historical changes fall over them.
