The Last One Out Turns Off The Lights

The story of Bizuka, Karim, Sonia and Patricia, four Portuguese citizens who took up the challenge and moved from their decaying home country to Angola’s capital of Luanda – one of the most expensive cities in the world. Through the prism of these quiet, personal tales, the documentary highlights the daily life in Angola as well as the consequences and privileges of being a white immigrant in the middle of Africa.
