Vivien spends a quiet childhood encapsulated in the present, sealed off from the past by her timid refugee parents. To the horror of her father, her glamorous, dangerous uncle appears at their door, dressed in a purple mohair suit with his leopard-print clad mistress. Why is he so violently unwelcome in her parents' home?
