Synopsis "El ojo del Leopardo (in Spanish)"

Desde la fria region sueca de Norrland, el joven Hans Olofson viaja a Zambia para visitar la tumba de un misionero legendario. Deja atras una infancia y una adolescencia marcadas por la ausencia de la madre y, despues, por la muerte de dos personas muy allegadas. La belleza de Zambia, y sobre todo su misterio, lo hechizan hasta el punto de permanecer en el pais durante dieciocho largos anos, al principio movido por los valores de la cooperacion y la solidaridad. Poco a poco, sin embargo, convertido en granjero, la realidad africana le impone una vision de la vida completamente distinta, mientras el racismo de los blancos y el odio de los negros va consumiendolo. Un dia, tras encontrar cruelmente asesinados a sus vecinos blancos, comprende que sus dias estan contados. Se quedara a luchar o arrojara la toalla? Hans sabe que quiza pueda escapar de la suerte que han corrido sus vecinos, pero no de su propia desesperacion. / Olofson arrives in Zambia not long after independence, hoping to fulfill the missionary dream of his recently deceased friend Janice. Africa is a complete shock to Olofson. As a wealthy man, he grows fearful and returns in his mind to the events that drove him from Sweden, as his present races toward a thrilling climax.
