German writer and director Caroline Link travelled to Africa for this beautiful drama about a family's ordeal during the second world war. A Jewish family escape to Africa where they overcome several obstacles before falling in love with the continent and its people. Link's keen eye for unique family dramas makes her a fresh voice in European cinema. The film is as much about the family as it's about Africa. The heart of the film belongs to their daughter's friendship with the locals, specially their African cook beautifully played by Sidede Onyulo. German star Juliane Köhler and Georgian actor Merab Ninidze are perfect as the troubled couple. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
