Each of us, sentimentally speaking, has happened to have been at least once in our life, either a hunter or a prey, perhaps even without his knowledge.

Of course, however, the opposite can also happen. Continuing undeterred in the territory of the desecration of pre-established roles, this time we have targeted (always with irony) another stereotype, that is, that which attributes to the woman the role of enemy, or at least antagonist of the homosexual.

This documentary shows how cinema has been used very differently in three neighbouring African countries with different colonial heritages: Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Madagascar. Mozambique used cinema newsreels as a crucial propaganda tool after the Portugese colonisers left.
