HAND ME DOWN WORLD
The woman who will soon call herself Ines Maria Luis washes up on a beach in Sicily. She has come from Tunisia to find her son, taken from her when he was just days old by his father and stolen away to Berlin. With nothing but her maid's uniform and a homemade knife stashed in a plastic bag, she relies on strangers - some generous, some malevolent - to guide her passage north.
These strangers tell of their encounters with her, building her story in fragments of memory, prejudice and sentiment. From this distorted account we build an impression of what we think is the truth and who we think she is; but we are the blind man in this story, relying on others to paint a picture of the world around us and unaware of what is missing.
