AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'On the anniversary of the burial of the father, mother and son visit his grave to lay some flowers. They speak about the dead man and how his life and subsequent death changed their lives. We also hear the father meditating on the nature of life and death. As his metaphor, he uses the one thing he understood really well - the game of cricket. And it dawns on us that maybe his death wasn't quite as 'natural' as it seemed.'
