Nayola

For this emotional and captivating feature animation film we created backgrounds and background animation.

Angola. Three generations of women in a 25-yearlong civil war: Lelena (the grandmother), Nayola (the daughter) and Yara(the granddaughter). Nayola goes in search of her missing husband at the height of the war. Decades later, the country is finally at peace but Nayola has not returned. Yara has become a rebellious teenager and a subversive rap singer. Lelena tries to contain her for fear of the police coming to arrest her. One night, a masked intruder breaks into their house, armed with a machete. An encounter like nothing they could have imagined…
