In 1938, the Redlich family flees from Leobschütz in Silesia, Nazi Germany, to escape the increasing persecution of the Jews.They move to Kenya to start running a farm, but not all members of the family come to an arrangement with their new life. Shortly after their departure, things are changing in Germany very quickly, and a turning back seems impossible. So everyone has to arrange himself with the new life in a new continent.
Una buena historia para decir un par de cosas sobre el desarraigo, los lazos familiares, y la chance de empezar una nueva vida siempre que sea necesario.
Nowhere in Africa is long enough that each character is meticulously studied and developed while Link takes the time also to provide wonderfully patient, artistic moments
Link creates a complex and fascinating portrait of a marriage under the enormous stress of geographical dislocation and historical trauma.

The acting is wonderful throughout, and director Carole Link has crafted a tale with the dramatic scope of a great epic. The English Patient comes to mind.

Very moving, well-written, and better-acted, but bitterly realistic.
