Looking for self is hard, it is like being stuck on the bottom of the earth, struggling for a way out!" Neguinho, literally: the little Negro: a name fully charged with colonial, racist meanings, speaking for itself and the heavy slavery past in Cape Verde but elsewhere. Renato is carrying this name consciously, as a strong statement of awareness, of empowerment. Between dreams and reality, reconnecting with his deep self Neguinho is on the move, looking for light.
