A Pedra(2016)

A Pedra follows a young girl traveling through southern Angola who encounters a retired doctor haunted by memories of war and its devastating aftermath. Based on Ondjaki's short story "The Dragonfly," the film explores the collision between youth and trauma, innocence and historical wound. Set against Angola's landscape, it traces how the girl and doctor's unlikely meeting becomes a quiet reckoning with loss, survival, and the scars that linger long after conflict ends. The narrative unfolds with understated intensity, examining how personal connection can bridge the gap between those shaped by violence and those discovering its legacy for the first time.
