Synopsis

Victor makes an ethical commitment. The reverberations of that choice surface in Canada, Egypt and Greece. Moving from a lecture hall in Montreal to a detention centre in Alexandria, from a descent into the catacombs of Kom el-Shoqafa to a vista high over the ports of Piraeus, from tequila blurred moments of ecstatic dance to the rigours of contemporary musical composition, an overlapping narrative emerges to question current allegiances and the history of rational law.
