Overview

Africa Star follows three generations of Cypriot women - mother, daughter, and granddaughter - whose lives were tragically altered by one man's submission to temptation. Plagued by guilt over his act in 1945 and his failure to make amends in 1967, the now-ailing octogenarian makes one last attempt in 2008.
