In the film, we follow the trajectory of Mozambican musician Lenna Bahule between São Paulo, her adopted home, and her hometown, Maputo.

We see how Lenna faces the difficulties of being a musician, a woman and a black woman in Brazil and Mozambique. The artistic world of São Paulo embraces its Africanity, its roots. Already in Mozambique, Lenna is now known for her success in Brazil.

Back in her homeland, she rediscovers it with new eyes. Lenna meets an inspiring generation of musicians from Maputo, who she involves in the production of a great show. Whether on stage, at her grandmother's farm or in a social project on the outskirts of Maputo, we see Lenna and Mozambican artivists investigating the traditional and popular music of their country and discovering new routes. Navigating between activism and the stage, between the imagined Africa that Brazil hopes to find in her, and the Brazilian cosmopolitanism that São Paulo imprints on her, Lenna discovers that her musical roots were even more powerful than she imagined.
