Notes: An examination of the colonial condition in post-colonial Africa.
Synopsis: The story of Jim, told through his three ex-wives and abandoned daughter, who are brought together by the death of this man. To greater and lesser degrees, the women come to terms with the pain and anger they have previously been unable to voice. The action taking place in Zimbabwe gives the events a particular characteristic they would not have had anywhere else in the world. The current land seizures add a new context to these relationships. Jim is dead. His complicated, contradictory, turbulent life journey is over, ending in a climactic and dramatically rather fitting culminating act.
