    Farewell Amor

    Ekwa MSANGI 2019 USA Feature color 101min English, Portuguese DCP
    After 17 years in exile, Walter reunites with his family after leaving Angola for New York City. We meet them as Walter picks up his wife, Esther, and daughter, Sylvia, from the airport to bring them home to his one-bedroom Brooklyn apartment. They quickly discover how the years of separation have turned them into absolute strangers. As they attempt to overcome the personal and political hurdles amongst them, they rely on the muscle memory of dance to find their way back “home.” Farewell Amor is an immigrant story that has come to define the American landscape since its inception.
