Would give it 4.5. Beautiful story about a woman, Ludo who never wants to leave the house and moves from Portugal to Angola to live with her newly wedded sister and her husband. The build up to Angolan Independence largely passes her by. When neither her sister or her brother-in-law do not return home on the eve of Angolan independence, she bricks herself into her apartment. She stays there for the next thirty years, living off vegetables and pigeons and writing her story on the walls of her home.
Meanwhile life in Angola moves on. A variety of characters take the spotlight and their stories touch Ludo’s.
