‘In fifty years … nobody will then know anything about our troubles.’
1939: Paul Kurz – engineer, refugee from Vienna and Dunera Boy – is separated from his wife, Paula, and his mother at the outbreak of World War II and interned in Australia.
Late 1960s: an Australian student from an Irish Catholic family railing against his father, struggling with his religious upbringing and coming to terms with his sexuality strikes up a profound friendship with Paul, two generations older.
