Two doctors face the unknown of a defamiliarised 'home' in this smart and enigmatic feature from Ulrich Köhler (Bungalow, Windows on Monday).
Smitten by the land and its people, a German doctor faces the prospect of leaving Cameroon and returning home to a country he hasn't seen in years. Tasked with replacing him is a French-born man who is apprehensive about Africa, the land of his ancestors but a place he has never before visited.
When they meet, ideas of home, culture and identity are thrown into brutal relief by the connection of these two very different men in one intoxicating, dangerous place.
