Synopsis:
This is a story about a German-Jewish family that moves to Kenya before WW II. The mother and the father, who were once successful lawyers, become farmers and long for their homeland. That their small daughter easily accepts her new home in Africa is mainly due to her warm friendship with a native, Owuoro. In 2003, this film won an Oscar in the category of the best foreign film.
