Rostov-Luanda plot

When Sissako began his studies at the Moscow film school, he met the Angolan freedom fighter Baribanga. They spent thirty hours together on a train from Moscow to Rostov, where they would study Russian for a year. This journey made a deep impression on the director. In the documentary, Sissako, with only a photo of Baribanga in his pocket, decides, sixteen years after their meeting, to travel with his camera to the still-unsettled Angola to look for his former traveling companion.
