Nayola

Nayola is an animated film that tells the story of Angola’s tragic twenty-five-year-long civil war through the perspective of three generations of women. Based on a play by Angolan playwright José Eduardo Agualusa and Mozambican novelist Mia Couto, this film offers a striking visual narrative and bold storytelling about the legacy of living through war. With an artistic style reminiscent of celebrated titles like 'Waltz with Bashir' and 'Persepolis', Nayola captures the struggles of these women's journeys across revolutionary outposts and contemporary urban settings.
