Description

Gillespie, an Irishman, goes to the Congo in 1959 in pursuit of his beautiful lover In s, a passionate Italian journalist. Unlike her, Gillespie has no interest in the deepening independence crisis, nor in the charismatic leader, Patrice Lumumba. He has other business: this is his last chance to make love work for him.
