A young couple, their relationship on the rocks, two bored children, and an inexperienced tour guide. All are on board a jeep somewhere in Tanzania. What should be a relaxed safari is in danger of turning into a game that leads to a massacre. Because sometimes it takes very little – a sentence out of place, a wrong trail – to upend our certainties. And so the anxieties we have always harbored, which we have done everything to keep hidden, even from ourselves, come out with unexpected ferocity. Francesca Manieri explores human and animal nature in this story, taut as a bow ready to release its arrow. With the gaze of an entomologist she observes her characters struggling between the ghosts of the past and the fragility of the present, showing us how much one can be prey and predator at the same time.
