Angolares are the oldest inhabitants of the island of São Tomé. Control of the island was wrested from them in the late 19th century, and their descendents have been reduced to a small fishing community. This fascinating film explores the tangled history of the Angolares and their beautiful island.

Os "angolares" são os mais antigos habitantes da Ilha de São Tomé, onde, segundo a lenda, chegaram depois de um naufrágio. Outrora senhores da ilha, foram despojados pela força, no fim do século XIX, e estão agora reduzidos a uma pequena comunidade piscatória. Entre os mitos e os mistérios desta ilha de beleza luxuriante, este filme revela-nos a história e os costumes destas gentes para quem a pesca e o mar são símbolos de afirmação.
