A filmmaker follows an invisible missionary as he wanders between villages in Guinea-Bissau, witnessing the country's chaotic operational impasse, which in turn is fixed by the people's determination to win through labour. With images filmed with a mobile phone device in the cities of Lagos (Nigeria), Berlin, Lisbon, São Tomé Island and Guinea-Bissau, in Contemplation Deadlock Attempt I glimpse a cynically commented immersive character trait. I'm interested in better understanding the layers of Bissau-Guinean society, but showing that my body in transit - or, on the move - is also an archival body that documents the world without evading itself from it.
