BALANE 3 is a neighborhood in Inhambane, a city in the south of Mozambique.
In 2019 I filmed bits of the lives of its inhabitants. Like any people in the world, the characters in this film work as fishermen, butchers or car washers, they go to school, hospitals, hair salons and markets, they drink and dance at night, they talk about politics, illnesses, friendships, love and sex. They talk a lot about sex.
