Based on the short story by Hassan Blasim. Salim, an Iraqi refugee,
takes on a new identity In London after fleeing persecution in
Baghdad. He is picked up, and marries a wealthy older woman, who
enthusiastically coaches him in the bedroom for his forthcoming
citizenship test. But Carlos Fuentes finds that knowing the names
of all six of Henry VIII’s wives can neither satisfy his new wife
nor turn him into a “Britishman”. The nightmare of the violence
of his past catches up with him, and suddenly he is at the airport,
accompanied by a G4 security guard, waiting for a plane to take him
back to Iraq.
