Visoki tujec

Pavel Rigler, a biologist and teacher in Argentina who films whales and other mammals, is on a boat in Patagonia when a stranger calls from Slovenia to tell him that his mother is dying. He never knew her. Returning after forty years, he finds a mute and gravely ill woman, and learns that as an heir to a forest, a factory and a villa under the restitution of nationalised property he has upset the whole town. Relatives he never knew of, rivals and the locals will do almost anything to avoid sharing the property with the newcomer. Intrigue, women and even a murder follow, many of them directed by a former secret police officer.
