1975, Mozambique’s rebirth. The young revolution sweeps the streets of Maputo from prostitutes and bad habits. Sent to re-education camps deep in the countryside, they are drilled to become “new women”. The purpose of the camp is to develop the proper “revolutionary spirit” in the hearts and minds of women of ill-repute through a harsh program of ideological indoctrination. Margarida, a sixteen year-old girl from the countryside, was mistakenly taken. This is their story. Women bounded by adversity.
