Marten Weber’s Gabriel is a complex tale of innocence lost and love won. Against the backdrop of a rising China, we witness culture shock and racism, cruelty and greed, while also gaining a fascinating insight into the world of diplomacy and big business. Overwhelmed by the world around them, two men lose everything they believe in, in order to find each other. This fantastic tale of a modern angel is a parable of human avarice and selfishness, a political thriller, a story of self-discovery, but ultimately a simple love story.
