António Escudeiro was born, grew up and worked in Angola until the day when he was forced to leave. He swore he would return. But his return home only took place thirty-two years later. "Goodbye, See You Tomorrow" is the documentary of that return, in which there is a crossing and confronting of two visual universes: the director's memories and today's Angola.
