“Nazaré” is a contemporary love story in a reality that plagues the country every summer. It is a narrative about the struggle of those who are defeated by flames, rebirth and hope.

Joel Kapala, a 17-year-old from Lubango, suffers a great disappointment and vows revenge. In 1998, he is admitted to one of Angola's most prestigious schools, the Santa Agnes International School in Luanda, to complete his pre-university studies. His admission causes conflict within the Kapala family: on one side, Laura Kapala, Joel's mother, supports him; on the other, his father, Ivo Kapala, owner of a mechanic shop, opposes him. "Jikulumessu" tells the story of revenge, of intertwined feelings such as love and hate, hope and despair, loyalty and betrayal. It is a story of strong emotions and real characters, of Angolan landscapes, sounds, and colors, in an original idea by Coréon Dú.

Threatened by a fascist plot, the Portuguese government recruits several "special people" to stop the coup.
