El mapeador de ausencias

Diogo Santiago, a prestigious Mozambican intellectual, returns after years of absence to Beira, his hometown, to receive a tribute. There he meets Liana Campos, a magnetic and mysterious woman with whom he shares a past yet to be unraveled. In the process, Diogo recalls the trip he made with his father to Inhaminga, a territory occupied by Portuguese colonial troops, in search of a missing relative, and the mark of that first encounter with misery and war. His memories will lead him to outline the figure of his father, a poet, a womanizer but full of loyalty and courage; that of his mother, impregnated by the verses of her husband, and those of other childhood characters that will help him illuminate his own enigmas. Unintentionally, Diogo will support Liana in her crusade to find the truths of her story, which begins with a woman falling into the void from the top of a building. Accompanying them as one more character, the imminent presence of a cyclone will finish shaking the foundations of the past of both.
