Historia
Miguel —alias Tibars, alias “Djon África,” born and raised in Portugal— is a kindhearted Rastafarian who loves women and lives a carefree life. Until one day a stranger tells him he's the spitting image of his father, “a player and a crook.” His father, whom he never even knew! This intriguing discovery makes him change tack. Particularly when his grandmother, who always took care of him, finally tells him how his father was in prison; how sad Miguel was as a toddler when he couldn't see him; how his father was banished to Cape Verde. Miguel goes there to visit him. Who is this man?
Resumen
Miguel "Djon África," a Portuguese-born Rastafarian known for his carefree lifestyle and affection for women, receives an unexpected revelation: he resembles his estranged father, a man he knew nothing about until now. His grandmother shares how Miguel's toddler self yearned for his imprisoned father, banished to Cape Verde. Driven by curiosity and a desire to understand his heritage, Djon embarks on a journey to Cape Verde in search of this mysterious patriarch. Little does he know, his quest will be as colorful and unpredictable as the islands themselves, with each encounter revealing new shades of his identity.
