Description
A moving new take on the Oedipus myth by one of Scandinavia's best playwrights
Rosa and Eric's son was 'disappeared' by the military junta in Chile in the 1970s. Now, as exiles in Paris, Rosa has just written a book about his loss, while Eric works as a psychologist. After eleven fruitless trips to Chile in search of her son, Rosa is instinctively drawn to a young man - an ex-patient of her husband.
