In Africa, under a perpetually shining sun, German soldiers carry out a United Nations mission. Homosexual General Brenner sees this as his chance to prove himself among the continent’s “native and simple” peoples. When his virgin wife gives birth to their first child, the troops wonder whether the infant is a new Messiah—and what purpose a Messiah could serve when the UN is already present.
