Summaries

Marcelo Ndong, a sexagenary African artist trained in Spain, and who now runs a small nursery in Malabo (Equatorial Guinea), receives an unexpected proposal. As in so many other occasions he must mount a play, but this time, the argument will be him. His own life. Supported by two of his best students, Marcelo will create in Malabo a play that will be represented in Santiago de Compostela. A personal and creative journey that will take them from post-colonial Guinea and Franco's Spain, to the present of both countries, to go discovering little by little, through his incredible life journey as a mime, musician, actor, circus, but above all, migrant, the strong, and until now little known cultural ties that unite Equatorial Guinea and Spain. The documentary "Manoliño Nguema" is an argument in favor of migration, a positive look at the integrating and healing power of culture.—Filmika Galaika
