* WINNER OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN M-NET LITERARY AWARD *
A tale of deception, misunderstanding, and betrayal set between modern-day Africa and Nazi-occupied France.
Haunted by his dreams of the Masai, Tim Curtiz journeys to East Africa to research and write a screenplay about the enigmatic Claudia Cohn-Casson, a French anthropologist who studied the Masai in the late 1930s and was then deported to Auschwitz upon her return to Paris.
