Cachupa da Sodade is a nostalgic documentary about memory, family and cultural identity, told through one of Cape Verde's most iconic dishes.
For many Cape Verdeans, cachupa is more than food. It is connected to home, childhood, family and the people who taught us how to make it. Through personal memories and family stories, the film explores how a single dish can carry the feeling of home across time and distance.
A personal film about the people, places and memories we carry with us, even when we are far from where we began.
