Synopsis

Rolf, an enigmatic middle-aged German Jew, bewitched the author, compelling him to listen to amazing and often heart-wrenching stories of trials and tribulations of his life. Memories of the wild and eventful bygone days in the company of his amazing and amusing friend and his “stranger than fiction” stories provided the author with occasional intoxication with the “ecstasy of agony”, embedded in those.All these are intertwined with a brief social anthropological account of student-life at Oxford, experienced by the author,a starry-eyed Muslim freshman from the Indian subcontinent, thrown into sixty’s explosive Cultural Revolution. A chance encounter with an old friend of late Rolf, while he revisited Oxford after a long time opened up a floodgate of memories and gave rise to the suspicion – was Rolf really killed by a drunken motorist? This inspired him to write this docufiction.
