Synopsis:
offers another worm's eye view of post-Communist Russia as seen from the bottom of the heap. The setting is a remote railway station in a remote part of the 'Boundless Motherland'. Stranded there are a young spiv, selling overpriced toasters to the local peasantry, and his heavily pregnant wife. They don't like the place, they don't like the people, and they don't much like each other...

Synopsis:
Waters' focal figure is Geoff Fallon: an MEP fighting to draw attention to the plight of the survivors of a civil war, between the Muntu majority and the Kanga minority, in the fictional African state of Irundi. But Fallon's battle against Brussels bureaucracy is intercut with his experiences as an idealistic young teacher working in Irundi under the patronage of a local Muntu farmer, Jean Kiyabe.

Synopsis:
In a faceless city in the depths of present-day Russia a young boy dies. Women in the street are drunk, fight and demand sex. The schoolboy Maksim makes his way through this urban hell, drawn into it one moment, repelled the next. His only retreat is into a private world moulded by himself, out of which springs a final act of reckless courage.
