Set against the backdrop of post-dictatorship Portugal, the narrative explores East Timor's tumultuous journey to independence following the chaotic transfer of power. The struggle for self-determination is highlighted through the brutal civil war and Indonesia's military intervention, which drew international condemnation. The United Nations advocated for East Timorese rights, culminating in a long-fought battle that led to the withdrawal of Indonesian forces on October 31, 1999, after significant loss of life.
