A small mosaic of everyday stories set in the cities of Inhambane and Maputo, in Mozambique.
Inhambane. Mozambique. King-Best. Samsung Galaxy. Versace. Babes. White rooster. There are no toothpicks in Norway. Coconut trees. Baobab fruits. Superfruits. Vitamine C. Passiflorine. Alpha-linolenic acid. SMS in Chinese. Megabytes. Hotel Cardoso. Coffee is a white man's addiction. Ngadzango. My woman. Nafta.

The film follows young men who wonder what lies beyond their immediate surroundings. In the fragments of conversations captured in the Inhambane market, a recording studio and on coconut trees, we find daily routines and tedium lead to chit-chat on desire, money and hope. In the interplay between performance and document, poetry emerges from fleeting everyday moments

Op 16mm filmend in Mozambique verkent Costa de patronen van het menselijk gedrag terwijl hij een aantal jonge mannen volgt die zich afvragen wat er buiten hun directe omgeving te vinden is. Uit de gespreksflarden die hij opvangt op de markt van Maputo, in een opnamestudio en tussen de palmbomen blijkt dat verveling leidt tot gekeuvel over verlangens, geld en hoop. Poëzie verrijst uit vluchtige alledaagse momenten, in deze mengeling van performance en document.
