Following a serious car crash, Kuki, a divorced Italian socialite, undergoes a transformative journey. She takes a leap of faith by accepting a marriage proposal from Paolo Gallmann, a man she scarcely knows, and relocates to Kenya with him and her young son to establish a cattle ranch. Amidst numerous challenges, including Paolo’s penchant for perilous pursuits and extended absences for hunting and fishing, Kuki must confront storms, roaming lions, venomous snakes, and ruthless poachers.

“The purest experience for the movie is not to have read the book because when you've read the book you're just ticking off boxes.”
