Opis

Rosamund is living in Spain happily married to acclaimed pianist Leopold Heine commissioned by tempestuous black American Gabi Schofield to compose music for her film 'Tears in the Dust'. The phone rings. Leopold has died in a plane crash in the Ghanaian jungle. Heartbroken Rosamund visits the blackened site, where children materialise from the bush and sing poignantly in support of her grief. She learns they are AIDS orphans. Rosamund returns to the village, bringing in medical staff for its small hospital, cares for the orphans and reaches out to a traumatised boy through her music, in this many faceted account of passion and danger in the African bush, the affairs of a corrupt pharmaceutical company brought to light.
