Air Conditioner

In the city of Luanda, all the air conditioning units mysteriously begin to fall from the buildings’ façades. This is the symbolic and fantastic starting point of a film that follows the paths of Matacedo and Zezinha, a night watchman and a housekeeper, as they try to recover their employer’s air conditioning unit. Their quest leads them to a technological project of shared memory recovery, something that has been lost in the new profile of a city filled with skyscrapers and social stratification.

Film followed by talk with Fradique and sociologist Cristina Roldão — with Portuguese Sign Language.
