...alone together. Their kids are married off and their house feels large. David, retired union organizer, is outgoing and affable. Eva, on the other hand, is introverted--slightly deaf, she is able to turn off the world by turning off her hearing aid. But she cannot extinguish a constant stream of disturbing flashbacks that remind her of years spent in Nazi concentration camps. Together, the husband and wife quarrel about selling the house. He sees it as a pragmatic move, but she cannot part with the memories and dreams...

The most macabre reminder of the fighting is scattered along several hundred yards of a dried-up stream bed behind Habré's former headquarters: clumps of human skeletons, many with their hands bound by elastic cords. Government officials say they were prisoners and innocent city dwellers butchered by Habré's forces as they retreated before the Libyan onslaught last December...
