The true story of Kuki Gallmann (Kim Basinger), an Italian
woman who moved to an African ranch with her new husband and young son in search of a new,
more meaningful life. Also with Vincent Pérez, Eva Marie Saint, Liam Aiken, Allison
Daugherty Smith and Federico Scribani. [1:52]
SEX/NUDITY 4 - Some kissing, including a couple of passionate kisses. We see
a nude man's back and the upper part of his bare buttocks as he walks into a room; he then
takes off his wife's shirt (we see her bare back and the bottom side of her bare breast)
and they kiss passionately and lean back onto the bed. We see some classical nude
paintings of females hanging in a museum. We see lots of children wearing loincloths and
many shirtless men.
VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - A person cries in pain when bitten by a poisonous snake
and falls to the ground, then is seen drifting into unconscious and foaming at the mouth;
the person eventually dies while two others are performing CPR. We also learn that another
person dies in an accident; we see the body lying in a coffin with the head covered by a
handkerchief. A car drives off a cliff to avoid a swerving truck; we see the car's windows
cracking, the backs of people flying out of the car in slow motion, and then see people
lying around the wrecked car (two women have bloody cuts on their faces and one has a very
bloody wound on her shin and is shaking badly). Later, we see a close-up of the woman's
bloody shin wound and see her recovering in the hospital (her face is bruised and the cuts
are still visible in a few scenes). A man who was also in the car accident is seen with a
bruised face and some stitches and very red abrasions on the side of his head. A man with
a bloody leg and hands is carried into a house and onto a table (we hear that he was gored
by a buffalo), then a man stitches the wound (we don't see the actual stitching). A man is
pulled out of his car and threatened with guns, kicked repeatedly and forced to strip to
his boxers by four other men; afterward, we see him with many abrasions and cuts on his
face. A man grabs another's shirt and yells at him; also, a woman grabs a boy's face and
yells at him. Men with guns make poachers with their hands tied behind their backs get
into a truck (presumably to drive them off the land, not to harm them). A woman throws
something at man. In two suspenseful scenes, a boy picks up a snake (we later learn
neither are poisonous). A dog trying to chase a lion away from a house gets a bloody wound
on its side; it's implied that the dog is shot after people unsuccessfully try to nurse it
back to health (a man carries it away, then we hear a gunshot). In a few scenes we see an
elephant or a rhinoceros with its tusks or horn removed (we see the bloody holes) and some
bloody gashes on its torso (one elephant's ribs are visible); also, we see what are
possibly several antelope corpses lying in a field and a couple of animals tied to the
hood of cars after a hunting expedition (a little blood is visible on one's fur). A
windstorm causes furniture and other objects in a house to fall and break.
PROFANITY 2 - Some mild obscenities and a few insults. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Africa, adventure-seekers, death of loved ones, poachers,
discovering one's strengths.
MESSAGE - Leading an adventurous lifestyle can both rewarding and tragic;
essentially, you have to take the good with the bad.
