Inspired from the directors own life, and influenced by F. W. Murnau, Tabu is a tale of paradise lost and found. When an elderly neighbour dies, Pilar (Teresa Madruga) reconnects with an old lover. and learns of an episode from her past: a tale of love and crime set in an Africa straight from the world of adventure films. Gomes playfully interprets and rearranges historical events: whilst the first part of his film is in black-and-white and portrays a society wallowing in nostalgia, the second part delivers everything the lovers long for: stirring melodrama, slapstick, and passion.
