Storyline

Cartas da Guerra is based on a book by renowned Portuguese author António Lobo Antunes. The epistolary novel, published in 2005, brings together the letters of a young soldier that were sent to his wife from Angola between 1971 and 1973, during the Colonial War. Just like Lobo Antunes himself, the young soldier is a doctor and an aspiring writer.

Ivo Ferreira was born in Lisbon, Portugal in 1975. He made his first documentary films whilst travelling in Asia. He has made a number of films focusing on anthropological documentary in various countries including Angola. He currently lives in Macau.
