Where Eskimos Live

Synopsis

50-year old Sharkey travels to Bosnia with a false identity and under the disguise of a UNICEF envoy. In fact, he is engaged in the illicit trade of smuggling children into Western Europe. Sharkey has been sent to Vitosice by a Polish lawyer in order to pick up a small boy. But his contact in Vitosice has been murdered and the boy he was sent to collect is not there. Sharkey runs into an army patrol. The Colonel in charge forces Sharkey to take his daughter out of Bosnia to her family in Germany. A gang of youths blows up their jeep with a landmine which kills the Colonel's daughter. Sharkey and the Colonel survive. Shortly after the incident, Sharkey stumbles on the gang of youths, beats their leader in a game of cards and wins a child. Next morning the 10-year old Vlado and Sharkey set off to Poland.

In an old vehicle they travel through war-torn Bosnia, not knowing that the Colonel, who wrongly blames his daughter's death on Sharkey, is close behind them. On their way out of Bosnia, Sharkey and Vlado gradually develop a friendship.

Edith’s journey begins with a visit to a remote Scottish island in the hope a gifted clairvoyant can provide some much-needed answers.
