The Lookout Girl

1963: Former ‘POW’ Hugo Mauer, with his wife Rene and young family set out from Cornwall to introduce their children to their Bavarian cousins at a family reunion.

His belief: that if children are brought up to know one another, there will be no more wars. However, there is one thing he hasn’t taken into consideration – The Wall.

Their journey in a Morris Minor van is long and tedious. On the continent, memories of his wartime experiences are triggered, and Hugo finds that the ‘ghosts’ of his past haunt him at every turn.
