Résumé
A doctor named Paris follows a nurse to a country on the brink of civil war. When a confrontation does break out, they are swept up by rebel forces and separated. The nurse, Helen, is pregnant; she escapes, but Paris… is left behind, imprisoned by rebels as war rages. A narrative of brutal power about parental bonds, forgiveness, and identity, "The Colonial Hotel" recasts for the 21st century the ancient Greek story of Paris, Helen, and Oenone. 2014.
