The Great Kilapy

Directed by Zézé Gamboa

With Lázaro Ramos, Pedro Hossi, João Lagarto, Hermila Guedes and Buda Lira

Zézé Gamboa's sardonic historical drama follows a good-hearted, apolitical con man who, on the eve of Angolan independence in the mid-1970s, pulls off a massive swindle at the expense of the Portuguese colonial administration — and soon after finds himself hailed as a hero of the national liberation struggle.
