Der von dem Roman „Die vielen Talente der Schwestern Gusmão“ von Martha Batalha inspirierte Film „Die Sehnsucht der Schwestern Gusmao“ spielt in den 1950er-Jahren – im Kino ist es das „ideale“ Jahrzehnt fürs Melodram. Die patriarchalen Strukturen sind festgefügt wie durch Zement; die Befreiungsbewegungen der späten 1960er-Jahre liegen in weiter Ferne. Vor diesem Hintergrund erzählt ..."
