Kapuscinski es un reportero polaco, idealista y amigo de las causas perdidas. En 1975 viaja a Angola, el último campo de batalla de la guerra fría, un lugar donde el saludo equivocado puede costarte la vida. El país africano y las personas que conoce en su inolvidable aventura, como la carismática guerrillera Carlota, lo cambiarán para siempre. El viaje suicida al corazón de las tinieblas transformó al periodista en escritor.

Warsaw, 1975. Kapuscinski (43) is a brilliant veteran journalist, an idealist and a friend of lost causes and revolutions. At the Polish press agency, he convinces his boss to send him to Angola where a bloody Civil War has broken out on the eve of the country´s independence. He embarks on a seemingly suicidal road trip into the heart of the Civil War. There, he witnesses once again the dirty reality of war and discovers a sense of helplessness previously unknown to him. Angola will change him forever: it was a reporter that left poland, but it was a writer that returned.
