Más información sobre el libro

"Twenty-two-year-old Etienne is studying film in London, having fled conscription in his native South Africa. It is 1986 ... [H]e falls in love with a German artist while living in derelict artists' communes. When Etienne finds the first of three reels of a German film from the 1930s, he begins searching for the missing reels, a project that turns into an obsession when his lover disappears in Berlin. It is while navigating this city divided by the Wall that Etienne gradually pieces together the history of a small group of Jewish film makers in Nazi Germany."--Front cover flap.
