Over a decade ago, Portuguese journalist Catarina Demony discovered that her family had a hidden past. Her ancestors, the Matoso de Andrade e Câmara, were some of the biggest slave traders in Angola. Since then, Catarina knew she wanted to remove her family's history from "under the carpet" and turn the spotlight on the long-lasting impact that past had: the racism, the violence, the segregation. The documentary tells a story far from being uncommon in Portugal: a family that made money by trafficking human beings and stripping them of their dignity. This money indirectly gave Catarina and many others the privileges they enjoy today. Together with journalist Carlos A. Costa, the documentary not only tells the story of Catarina's family but also explains the consequences of centuries of enslavement. They both want to explain why the colonial past continues to be a "taboo" in today's society and why, more than ever, it is important to bring the issue to the table.
