He wanted to leave his vision of everything he witnessed, at a time when black people had no right to a voice. Malã's saga deserved to be known. For countless days and nights, I literally immersed myself in the pages of books, newspapers, and documents from libraries and archives in Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, Lisbon, and the present-day Republic of Guinea-Bissau, attempting to verify and reconstruct the facts described by Malã.

The plot tells the story of three brothers living in a small village in the Congo who fall in love with the same woman: the royal princess. Since they are simple villagers, the possibility of any of them marrying the princess is quite remote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Thus, they set out in search of a new life across the vast African territory, crossing forests and swamps, and facing terrifying beasts.
