Synopsis:
At a Portuguese army barracks in the north of Mozambique, during the Colonial War
in 1969, a captain falls in love with a soldier. Unexpectedly, on Christmas Eve,
his wife arrives to spend the holidays with him. That night, the barracks are attacked
by the guerrilla. During this holy night, the violence of war will mix with the

Some secrets will not resist unveiling until the light of dawn.
