A very personal account of one family and its links across two continents and three generations, despite political divides.
Capitalist Drive looks at life in the aftermath of the historic changes that shook Europe in the 1940s and 1989, and the struggles involved in starting afresh - no matter where you are. It uncovers stories of love and loss, dreams and disappointments, including a father's drive to succeed and the impact it had on those around him. And as we get to know these characters and their pasts, we discover shared passions and ambitions, including a rather eccentric attachment to cars.—Barbara Chobocky
