A poignant family drama about displacement and adaptation, following a Jewish woman's reluctant journey from Nazi Germany to colonial Kenya, where loss and belonging intertwine.

A Jewish woman named Jettel Redlich flees Nazi Germany with her daughter Regina, to join her husband, Walter, on a farm in Kenya. At first, Jettel refuses to adjust to her new circumstances, bringing with her a set of china dishes and an evening gown. While Regina adapts readily to this new world, forming a strong bond with her father's cook, an African named Owuor.
