In the village of Tizangara, UN Blue Helmets work as peacekeepers after years of civil war. Five explosions kill five soldiers; only their helmets and their phalluses are left. Massimo Risi, an Italian Lieutenant posted in Maputo, Mozambique's capital, arrives in the village in order to investigate the events. Assisted by Joaquim, a local translator, Massimo starts the enquiry and soon discovers that not everything is what it appears to be.

A mysterious enquiry begins for the foreign U.N. investigator.
