I Dreamed of Africa (2000)
De gescheiden en welgestelde Kuki besluit na een zwaar auto-ongeluk haar leven over een andere boeg te gooien. Ze aanvaardt een huwelijksaanzoek van Paolo Gallmann en trekt samen met hem en haar zoontje Emanuele naar Kenia om er als veeboeren aan de slag te gaan. Het leven op het Afrikaanse platteland is bijzonder hard: wilde olifanten en leeuwen vormen een voortdurende bedreiging, zware stormen zorgen voor veel schade, genadeloze stropers laten zich door niets of niemand afschrikken en een naburige stam staat erg achterdochtig t.o.v. de nieuwkomers. Bovendien is Paolo vaak dagenlang afwezig terwijl hij gaan jagen of vissen is met zijn vrienden. Maar Kuki is niet van plan om haar nieuwe leven zomaar op te geven.
