The Corporal's Wife (2013)
“It’s third world to look at, and in the standard of living where we are now, but in the north, where we’re not going, there’s a sophistication that’s Rome or Paris. Technically, in spite of the regime, they can do almost anything we can.’ It helped Zach to talk as he drove.
