Based on the trilogy Os Filhos de Próspero by Ruy Duarte de Carvalho.

Screenplay by José Eduardo Agualusa.

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 beginning of the 21st, in the magnificent locations of the Angolan south.
