Sleepwalking Land is a slow, dreamlike road movie set in the wreckage of civil war in Mozambique. It follows a boy and an old man travelling through burnt-out buses and ghost towns, piecing together memories—some personal, some borrowed. The film's primary concern is memory: how it's preserved, distorted, and passed on like folklore. At times, the pace drags, and the symbolism feels a bit heavy-handed, but there's a profound poetry in how it blurs the line between reality and fantasy. It suggests that memory—imaginative, slippery, and stubborn—is sometimes all we have to survive, especially when everything else has already been lost.
