Anthony Dod Mantle, Poul Rude, 1993
The three characters; a priest, a medical teacher, and a grandmother relate their respective experiences of family loss, overshadowed by a common concern for the future. Living in the western shores of Lake Victoria in the Kagera district of Tanzania, all three have witnessed the passing away of one or more next of kin, in each case inflicted with the deadly AIDS virus. However, the personal confession of the priest, combined with the visual style of this film, serve to shed new light on the conventional profile of »Third World suffering«.
