About the movie
Mozambique, 1988. Amid the civil war, military escorts a freight train packed with goods and people seeking a better life. Many travel to trade sugar-salt borders, scarce locally, and the great challenge of the friction-filled journey is to overcome surprise attacks and sabotage by a man-led paramilitary group that, according to legend, turns into a monkey.
