Add to basketA famous architect, tired with his life and its amusements, travels to the Congo to spend some time in a leper colony. His work for the sick inhabitants soon helps him to recover from his lethargy, until the white inhabitants discover who he is and what he's done. Interesting psychological exploration into the modern condition and the absence of meaning.
