Description

In a richly appointed garden salon of a Parisian hotel, two seasoned diplomats — the Hanoverian government councillor Meding and the astute Count Chaudordy — debate the fate of a stalled colonisation scheme for displaced Hanoverians in Algeria. Their conversation reveals a web of royal ambition, imperial politics, and the fragile hopes of a people forced into exile. As the king's plans crumble under opposition and intrigue, the stakes for a new home and a future army become painfully clear.

Against this backdrop, Meding navigates rivalries within the court and the secretive machinations of agents sent by the king, trying to salvage a project that could secure both land and identity for his countrymen. The narrative blends historical detail with personal drama, exposing the precarious balance between duty to a displaced nation and the personal cost of political games. Listeners are drawn into an atmosphere where loyalty, ambition, and the shadow of exile shape every decision.
