Ruy Duarte de Carvalho, poet, novelist and filmmaker, finds out that his father left papers in the Namib desert that would help him shed light on a mystery that occurred in 1923. Through his search for the “Englishman's papers”, we embark on an epic tale that goes from the turn of the 19th century to the end of the 20th, in the magnificent locations of the Angolan south.
