Two friends promise that they will never grow up and that if they do, one day, they will end their own lives. Between the day of the promise and the day adulthood arrives, anxieties and fears, hopes and dreams make it difficult to reach the age of thirty. Reaching the milestone, after all, is as good as it is scary. Perhaps running away to Paris is the solution, but, as the conclusion goes, "we are all heroes at midnight, but cowards at nine in the morning." Does growing up mean compromising? Or do we remain just a little lost children playing this game of wanting to appear very adult?

Joel Kapala, a 17-year-old from Lubango, suffers a great disappointment and vows revenge. In 1998, he is admitted to one of Angola's most prestigious schools, the Santa Agnes International School in Luanda, to complete his pre-university studies. His admission causes conflict within the Kapala family: on one side, Laura Kapala, Joel's mother, supports him; on the other, his father, Ivo Kapala, owner of a mechanic shop, opposes him. "Jikulumessu" tells the story of revenge, of intertwined feelings such as love and hate, hope and despair, loyalty and betrayal. It is a story of strong emotions and real characters, of Angolan landscapes, sounds, and colors, in an original idea by Coréon Dú.
