About This Movie

My Semba digs into the heart of Luanda, capturing the raw pulse of city life through X's perspective. The documentary-drama hybrid weaves a textured narrative, blending vibrant music scenes with intimate family moments. You can feel the weight of faith and the power of artistic expression hovering in the air, as X, Lele, and Maria navigate their complex realities. The pacing has this rhythmic quality, almost like a song, that ebbs and flows with the energy of the streets. The performances are grounded, allowing the characters' struggles and joys to resonate deeply. What stands out is its authentic portrayal of brotherhood amidst chaos, a theme that really strikes a chord, especially in a landscape as dynamic as Luanda.
