"Another Day of Life" is an animated docudrama film based on the book of the same name by Ryszard Kapuściński. The story is set during the Angolan Civil War in 1975 when Angola was transitioning from Portuguese colonial rule to independence.

The film revolves around Kapuściński's experiences during his risky trip to Angola as a journalist. Kapuściński, often referred to as "Kapu," is a journalist for the Polish Press Agency and is determined to cover the civil war firsthand, despite the dangers involved. He arrives in Luanda, the capital of Angola, and finds himself thrust into a chaotic and dangerous environment.

As Kapușiński delves deeper into the conflict, he encounters various individuals who shape his perspective on war. He befriends Carlotta, a Portuguese woman who has chosen to stay in Angola and is fighting to save her family's property. He also meets Farrusco, a charismatic Portuguese journalist who acts as his guide and mentor, sharing his experiences covering the war.

Kapuściński witnesses the horrifying consequences of the civil war, with Angolan factions fighting against each other and the Portuguese colonial forces. The film captures the intensity and brutality of the conflict, with violent battles, bombings, and the devastating impact on the local population.

Throughout his journey, Kapuściński's understanding of war evolves. He realizes the complexity and futility of the violence, and the helplessness that journalists often face in such situations. As he experiences the harsh realities of war, Kapuşıński's perspective changes from that of a traditional journalist merely reporting facts to that of a writer seeking to convey the true human experiences and emotions of those affected by war.

"Another Day of Life" is a gripping and emotional portrayal of Kapuściński's experiences in Angola. It explores themes of war, journalism, and the transformative power of witnessing conflict.
