1907. Afonso gets a job as a doctor on an African island plantation where slaves are suffering from a strange disease called "Banzo", also known as slave nostalgia. They become apathetic, starve to death, or take their own lives from an unrelenting homesickness. In an attempt to prevent the spread of the disease, the sick are sent to a remote area of ​​the forest. Afonso soon realizes that understanding the souls of the sick is far more important than treating them with medicine. How to empathize with the suffering of those who were not allowed to mourn? Banzo also reminds us that behind every story there is a person telling it, and the oppressive atmosphere of the place evokes a dark colonial past. 1907.
