Two couples were sitting on an outside café drinking coffee in the sun. They were from different countries and places and spoke a lot of languages. The challenge was to find a language they had in common, because it was the first time all four of them had met. When they did start to communicate, the four of them were drifting off into new worlds by the enchanting stories they could tell of prison life in Asia, human rights campaigns in Latin-America and informal political conferences in Europe.
