Kurt Krausmann, a recently bereaved Frankfurt doctor, is persuaded to join his
friend, wealthy benefactor Hans Makkenroth, on a humanitarian mission to the
Comoros. The journey helps him begin to confront his loss, but soon misfortune
strikes again: the boat he and Hans are travelling in is hijacked in the Gulf of
Aden and the men are taken hostage.Held in a remote hideout, the prisoners
suffer harsh conditions and the brutality of their guards; self-styled warriors,
ex-army captains and even poets drawn to banditry through poverty or
opportunism.When the group decamps to a lawless desert region and Hans is taken
away, Kurt sinks deeper into despair. But fellow inmate Bruno, a French
ethnologist who has been travelling Africa for 40 years, attempts to show Kurt
another side to the wounded yet defiant continent he has taken to his heart.
