At the age of 15, Vitorio had been recruited by force in the Angolese army. After having fought for twenty years, he had been demobilized. During one of his last missions, he stepped on a antipersonel mine and had to suffer a leg amputation. Having waited for months, he finally received a prosthesis.
Alone and pennyless, he had to wander on the streets of Luanda, in the search of a job. One night, while sleeping on the street, his prosthesis was stolen,,, as well as Vitorio's dreams of integration.


Ele é um autêntico herói. Vinte anos de guerra permitiram-lhe obter uma medalha mas deixaram-no também sem uma perna. Nas ruas de Luanda, erra à procura de um emprego, passaporte indispensável para renascer na vida civil. No entanto, apesar da prótese que atenua a sua deficiência, só encontra desprezo, piedade e indiferença perante o seu voluntarismo nesta cidade confrontada com o afluxo dos refugiados e a muita penúria.
