White Thirst
It is 1979 in Romania, Eastern Europe - a bad year in the heavy-footed, deadly communist era under the dominance of the Soviet Union. Two young men plan and manage to escape from behind the Iron Curtain, reaching an international refugee camp in Italy sponsored by the Catholic Church.

It also serves as a handy reference for those interested in key CA findings on social interaction.
