Three sweat-suit-clad prisoners invoke their fate and will with caresses, sudden scraps and the dancing-out of a killing. These toughs have a strangely romantic side; they tell about wanting to change into a rose after stealing or about being distracted from the tell-tale blood of a murder by lilacs.

National liberation movements have been victorious elsewhere facing less favorable odds; there is no reason to think it could not happen in Angola...
