Ich träumte von Afrika (2000)
Ein schwerer Autounfall zwingt die italienische Aristokratentochter Kuki Gallmann zum Innehalten. Sie beschließt, ihrem privilegiertem, aber unbefriedigenden Leben zu entfliehen und folgt ihrem alten Kindheitstraum: frisch verheiratet mit Paolo und ihrem kleinen Sohn geht sie nach Kenia, um dort einen Neubeginn zu wagen. Doch die atemberaubende Schönheit Afrikas, das Gefühl unendlicher Weite und Freiheit, verbirgt eine grausame Seite der Natur, die Kuki bald kennenlernen muss: Nichts, was sie dem Land abringt, ist umsonst. Ihr Glück wird durch Paolos tagelange Jagd- und Saufausflüge ebenso auf die Probe gestellt wie durch nächtliche Löwenangriffe, verheerende Stürme oder brutale Wilderer. Afrika hat ihr ein neues Leben gegeben – und verlangt dafür einen letzten, hohen Preis, der schließlich selbst Kuki an den Rand ihrer Kräfte bringt…
