Introduction

A post-apocalyptic world, a biological family and their companions – part-found-family, part-hired-help – live in harmony by forgetting the time before the present. But the arrival of a stranger, brimming with emotion, cracks their strictly organised world wide open. But, in this time on the cusp of oblivion, truth seekers soon find that compromise is the only option for survival. Just as he did with his landmark The Act of Killing, Oppenheimer once again confounds expectations with this singular, seriously minded work.
