"Wah-Wah" is a semi-autobiographical 'coming of age at the end of an Age' story, told through the eyes of young Ralph Compton. Set during the last gasp of the British Empire in Swaziland, South East Africa, in 1969, the plot focuses on the dysfunctional Compton family whose gradual disintegration mirrors the end of British rule.
As an 11 year old, Ralph witnesses his mother's adultery with his father's best friend. His parents divorce and Ralph is sent to boarding school. Harry Compton not only loses his wife and best friend, but also his position as Minister of Education with the coming of Independence, prompting his rapid descent into alcoholism.
Now 14, Ralph returns home to discover that his father has re-married an American ex-Air hostess called Ruby whom he has known all of six weeks.

Plot Summary : |
Xavier, the hero of "L'Auberge Espagnole," is off on yet another adventure. This time he's hopping back and forth between Paris, London and Saint Petersburg, jumping in and out of bed again with lots and lots of women.
Five years after his return from Barcelona, Xavier is faced with the ultimate challenge: growing up in a world full of contradictions. As he ricochets back and forth between money problems, creative challenges and his ever-turbulent love life, Xavier struggles to find his way. He subsequently throws himself into a wholehearted quest for the "perfect life" with the "perfect woman," only to realize that this wacky, chaotic, circuitous path called life — this series of stories-within-a-story-within-a-story, like so many nesting, Russian dolls — leads to the discovery of his own true heart. |
