Publisher's Synopsis
Loosely based on real events, 'Affections' tells the story of the eccentric, fascinating Ertl family, heading by the egocentric and extraordinary Hans, once Leni Reifenstahl's famous cameraman and Rommel's personal photographer. Having fled Germany shortly after the country's defeat in the war, the family now lives in Bolivia. However, shortly after their arrival Hans - an enthusiastic adventurer and mountaineer - decides to embark on an expedition in search of Paitití, a legendary Inca city. The failure of their outlandish quest into the depths of the Amazon rainforest proves fateful, initiating the end of a family whose subsequent voyage of discovery ends up eroding everything which once held it together.
