Another Day of Life is a gripping story about the three-month expedition undertaken by Ryszard Kapuściński, an outstanding reporter, to Angola, engulfed in war and chaos, where the front line was changing by the minute. The book Another Day of Life written by Ryszard Kapuściński inspired this full-length animation, which also includes elements of a documentary. Just as in the literary original, the viewer starts the journey together with the reporter, in 1975, visiting Luanda, the capital city of Angola. Decolonisation after the Carnation Revolution continues. The Portuguese are in hurry to leave the luxurious districts of the city. They fear that the capital may be under attack. Kapuściński establishes himself in the abandoned city and sends messages to the Polish Press Agency every single day. On the eve of declaring its independence, various militant groups fight with each other to seize power in the newly established republic. Kapuściński decides to undertake a perilous journey to the front...
