At the end of her holiday in Kenya, Carola from Switzerland meets Lemalian, the Samburu warrior. She feels magically attracted to the stranger and falls head over heels in love with him. At the last minute she doesn`t board her flight, stays in Kenya and sets off to look for Lemalian. After an adventurous journey through the African wilderness, she is helped by Elizabeth, a German woman, to find the warrior. Carola gives up her old life in Switzerland and lives her dream in Kenya for four years, but the adventure becomes a difficult undertaking, in which two extremely different cultures clash with each other. The film is based on the autobiographical novel by Corinne Hofmann.
