When she goes on safari, he remains uncomprehendingly behind. The Maasai revere her as Jeyo - mother. Only the Greek Anthimos shares her fascination for Africa. The two fall passionately in love with each other. Then, the First World War breaks out. Anthimos asks her to flee with him. But Margarete can no longer imagine a life out of Africa. Next, the dramatic events come to a head . . .
