We are Made of Earth

When an overcrowded dinghy capsizes at sea, a doctor is among those refugees thrown overboard. In the ensuing panic, he saves one life and condemns another. The doctor and the boy he has saved-the only surviving witness to the crime-eventually reach a tiny Greek island where they are offered shelter by the owner of a small travelling circus, itself marooned in the off-season. Debt-ridden, the circus owner knows that his most valuable asset is an Asian elephant, far from her natural habitat but lovingly tended by the owner`s wife even as she mourns their 10-year old daughter.As the refugees await a long-deferred ferry to take them onto the next stage of their journey, the doctor is drawn to his host`s wife, all the while keeping his young companion, who loves him fervently, at arm`s length.
