It's ironic, they call us black market. Us, 70% of the workforce.

X and his siblings, Lelé and Maria, come of age holding onto each other while facing slavery wages and undignified working conditions, as the working class in an African metropolis. Maria holds on to her faith and family values; Lélé fights fire with fire against the injustices of the metropolis; and X, the poet, tries to make sense of it all, painting the city with words. When their father figure's life is at risk, they will have to face their deepest fears to save him.

"My Semba" is Salvaterra's debut feature film and is an ode to music, poetry, and cinema. This film establishes Geração 80 as one of the leading art-house production companies in Africa.
