"Monangambeee!" Passed from village to village, this cry struck terror in the hearts of even Angola's bravest. Men, women and children took flight and sought protection in the bush. The cry translates as 'white death', and signified certain deportation with no return. The cry once accompanied the arrival of Portuguese slave traders and in the 1960's it was used as an identifying sign and signal to gather for the People's Liberation Front. A woman visits her husband in prison. When departing, she promises him a "Complet", but the guard betrays him by informing the prison director. Based on a misunderstanding over which language the woman speaks, and the meaning of the word, it comes to interrogation and torture. (Berlinale)
