To the streets, “Raq” Thomas is cold, hard and fierce — a successful and deadly woman taking names in a man’s world. She is tough, resolute, ruthless, but Raq still is capable of love. Great love. The sole recipient of that affection is her son, Kanan; he is everything to her. As much as she cares for him, though, there are many instances where one wonders if she loves him for who he is or if she loves him merely as an extension of herself. The middle child of three, Raq also carries the heavy burden as the earner for her two brothers. She is the sun, and everyone else in her universe exists in her orbit.
Billed as a story about love, sex and passion – a reflection of the meaning of life and the relentless passage of time, The Trio follows middle-aged Hugo. When he is approached by the daughter of both of his childhood loves, he is thrown back in time to a moment when his younger self is about to start university and has moved to Stockholm and to stay with the Stiller family. There he meets Thora, the daughter of the house, and August, her constant companion and occasional lover. It is the beginning of a deep friendship and a whirlwind love affair. It is also the reason why Hugo never moved on.
