Sixty years later, two men investigate a Franco crime committed in Spanish Guinea in 1959. Món is the son of the colony’s Attorney General, who tried to clarify the murder. David is a close friend of Món; He is a journalist and he is going blind. For six years they have tried to find out what happened, until they reached state secrets that are still in force and the victim’s family.
Acacio Mañe was the first black leader, from the Fang ethnic group, who tried to claim the sovereignty of Equatorial Guinea in the United Nations. His body was never found. Impunity and silence persist.
