An American expat in London takes a phone call. The caller is a German policewoman, & the news she has to convey to him is almost incomprehensible: his sister, Miriam, has been found dead in her Berlin flat, of starvation. Three weeks later, the man, his elderly father, & an American consular official find themselves in a fogbound Munich Airport, where Miriam`s coffin is to be loaded onto a commercial jet.
