description: This coming-of-age tale follows a young man who is forced to flee his homeland of Rwanda during the Civil War and make sense of his reality.Nobody ever makes it to the start of a story not even the people in it. The most one can do is make some sort of start and then work toward some kind of ending.One might as well start with Sraphin: playlist-maker nerd-jock hybrid self-appointed merchant of cool Rwandan stifled and living in Windhoek Namibia. Soon he will leave the confines of his family life for the cosmopolitan city of Cape Town in South Africa where loyal friends hormone-saturated parties adventurous conquests and race controversies await. More than that his long-awaited final year in law school promises to deliver a crucial puzzle piece of the Great Plan immigrant: a degree from a prestigious university.But a year is more than the sum of its parts and en route to the future the present must be lived through and even the past must be survived.
