Movie ReviewsBeautiful and human webdak-com | Long Island (NY), USA | 04/10/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "This movie has more than its beautiful scenery - the Cape Verdan islands. Featuring a great acting cast and a 3-minute performance of world music star Cesaria Evora, the film tells the story of a local business man who disinherits his nephew and leaves his money and estate to his daughter, he never officially recognized. His life story is told by himself on tapes he left her and through her questions to everybody, he knew. It is a romantic story, describing the main character with gentle humour. The few (discrete)love scenes remotely reminded me of some french movies. The slow pace of the film is common to outstanding European and African directors - yes African (Cape Verde is close to Senegal) - think of Ousmane Sembene and Wim Wenders, add a few humorous touches and enjoy the human side of cinema. 8 out of 10!" Testamento webdak-com | 12/29/2003 (4 out of 5 stars) "The film captured so much of the culture portraying reality with intrigue inherent in the character's story. Interesting, capitvating, exploratory."
