The story
is about a man called Memo with intellectual disability. The father of a girl,
he is unjustly accused of the death of a soldier's daughter, and ends up
sentenced to death. However, when force seems inevitable, another prisoner,
Yusuf, decides to sacrifice himself for Memo, leaving him free to live with his
daughter. So when Ova, the memo's daughter, makes a clandestine visit to the
prison, Yusuf implies that he killed his own daughter, a crime that disturbs
him a lot ... so he just wanted to reward and make someone happy since he
didn't get it.
When Memo's
hopes run out and the only witness he could testify in his favor is murdered by
the lieutenant colonel, father of the girl who died, Yusuf chooses to be
executed instead.
Due to Yusuf's sacrifice, Memo manages to
escape, and embarks with Ova towards a new life. The girl takes with her a
cigarette case left by Yusuf. The film ends with her, already an adult, next to
the cigarette case….Madalena Carvalho Nº10 9ºB
