In “Our Madness”, Lucy is hospitalized in a madhouse. She dreams about her son Hanic and her husband Pack, a soldier in a warzone in the north of the country. Lucy plays a curious musical instrument: her own bed. The musical virtuosity gets the nurses’ attention. One day, the music plays in Rádio Moçambique and Rosa Mário, an evangelical priest, goes to the hospital to meet its singer. But Lucy identifies her visit as great opportunity to escape, with the bed and everything.
