An Italian socialite rethinks her life in the aftermath of a car crash, hastily accepting a marriage proposal and joining her new husband in running a farm in Kenya. The project is beset by problems, as she contends with not only dangerous wildlife but also her husband's reckless thrill-seeking. Drama, starring Kim Basinger, Vincent Perez, Eva Marie Saint and Daniel Craig.

Inspired by the true story of indomitable Kuki Gallmann, the film tells of a beautiful and inquisitive woman who had the courage to escape from her comfortable yet monotonous life in Italy to start anew in the African wilderness with her son, Emanuele, and her new husband, Paolo. Gallmann faces great danger there but eventually becomes a celebrated conservationist.
