Our Madness

João Viana — PortugalFranceQatar — 2018 — 80’

Lucy is hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital in Mozambique. She dreams about her little son, Hanic, and her husband, Pak, who is a soldier of the war. In the meantime, a quirky musical instrument plays: her own bed. Lucy’s musical virtuosity attracts the attention of the hospital nurses. One day, her song is played in a radio program and Rosa, an evangelical priest of Radio Mocambique, goes to the hospital to listen to Lucy’s song. She takes the priest’s visit as an opportunity to run away.
