Daniel

In 1875 Hans Bengler, a young entomologist, leaves Sweden for the expedition of a lifetime to the Kalahari Desert. Unexpectedly, after his long and arduous journey through the sands, he finds a small boy, whose tribe has been decimated by European raiders. Accustomed to collecting specimens, Bengler decides to adopt the boy and names him DANIEL. He takes the traumatised child home with him to Sweden and plans to 'civilise' him. But DANIEL cannot slip into an alien culture, and a new life in the cold and snow, so easily.
