After the death of his much-loved wife and his recognition that he will never write the great study of history that was to be his life's crowning work, Max, an elderly German academic believes his life is all but over. Everything changes, though, when his valedictory lecture is challenged by Professor Vita McLelland, a feisty young Australian Aboriginal academic visiting Germany. Their meeting and unlikely friendship sets Max on a journey that would have seemed unthinkable just a few short weeks earlier. Max travels to Australia, and forms a deep friendship with Vita s uncle, Aboriginal elder Dougald Gnapun. It is a friendship which teaches him the profound importance of truth-telling in reconciliation with his own and his country's past.
