- Synopsis
- Alias provides a fascinating account of a man who grew up in apparently idyllic circumstances as part of a strictly religious German family. Never really registering the fact that his appearance seems different to his brothers and unusual for a German, the man is in his twenties before his father eventually reveals the supposed truth of his son’s real identity in an argument. The family emerges as a structure of hypocrisy, its members as silent guardians of secret knowledge. It is years later before the protagonist finds the courage to return to his childhood village, to speak with members of his family, and to subsequently travel to Lebanon, where he finally encounters a familiar-looking stranger.
