A Jewish woman named Jettel Redlich flees Nazi Germany with her daughter Regina, to join her husband, Walter, on a farm in Kenya.

Link's movie is an absorbing tale of cultural displacement and adjustment. It's also a remarkably complex examination of a marriage.

Everything in the film rings true, is deeply moving, richly photographed, and wonderfully acted.

It's exactly the sort of import you'd expect to walk off with an Academy Award.

It is definitely one of the most remarkable German-language films ever made.
