Overview
A sequence of archive images filmed by Schefer's grandfather, a former colonial administrator, is the starting point for an experimental documentary on the history and memory of Portuguese decolonisation. Double or split memory: the lived and descriptive memory of the colonizers (their texts, their images) against the fabricated memory of their descendants.
