A cross-cultural romance centered on a woman's passionate but challenging journey to adapt to a radically different way of life and marriage.

A girl, Carola, whose vacation in Kenya takes an interesting turn when she becomes infatuated with a Masai. Carola decides to leave her boyfriend to stay with her lover. There, she has to adapt to the Masai's way of life and get used to their food which includes milk mixed with blood.
