- Angola: thirty years of independence, three years of peace. Capital, Luanda, a city built for 600 thousand people where four million now live. Ten characters guide us through different ways of living and interpreting the city. People from all of the country's provinces meet at this crossroads. They are the life of the city, transforming it by inventing ways to make money and reinventing themselves.
- A Luanda musseke under permanent construction shelters the kid poets. DJ Buda is one of them. In his computer, Buda brings to life mesmerizing electronic rhythms. They all want to try his machine oozing kuduro sound. Each boy tells his story in his own fashion. "I am more contained, so they call me Mellow". They want to listen to themselves. They dance. DJ Buda's parties are very successful, with food, drink and dance all night long. "Music Factory" is a hymn: it shows how Angolans are able to create, produce, sell and consume their own product, in this case music. A true cry of independence.
- The Tchiloli is performed by prominent men of certain quarters of the island. Originally from France, the Tchiloli was introduced in São Tomé in the XVIth century. The main roles are transmitted from generation to generation. Dressed in European clothes (mainly women costumes) and wearing masks, the male actors narrate a Renaissance text with music and dance, turning this spectacle into an extravagant cultural manifestation of African and European heritage.
