A middle-class Black family in Brazil copes with the election of a far-right extremist president. The mother believes that she's cursed after an unexpected encounter, while her husband puts all of his hopes into their son's soccer career.

"My Imaginary Africa" ​​is a first-person narrative of a singular-plural nature, bringing together the director's personal experience and concerns intertwined with the experiences, memories and experiments of other black women who revisit their past in search of self-definitions, in a sharing and creation of a common territory of (r)existence. The film is organized as an essayistic experiment of memories and subjective possibilities of refuge and resistance among quilombolas.
