About The White Massai

Region 1 - NTSC***Unrated Uncut 131 min - Photo Gallery - Trailer - Biographies*Import*Cover and Menu in Spanish*Audio: German - Spanish*Optional Spanish Subtitles***This is the ONLY edition offering a Spanish soundtrack and subtitles.*** NO ENGLISH***Some scenes which show traditional, cultural practices of Masai tribe may be disturbing to sensitive viewers.*** A Swiss woman, Carola (Nina Hoss), goes to Kenya, accidentally meets a Massai warrior Lemalian (Jacky Ido), falls in love and begins to live with him in harsh conditions, almost unbearable for any European. At first, it seems that love will conquer all difficulties and differences but, in the long run, the situation does not occur to be as simple as that. So what's the problem? Almost everything: sex, lifestyle, traditions, social behavior, treatment of important matters in life, and, of course, male-female relations.***Nina Hoss was named as one of European films 'Shooting Stars' by European Film Promotion. She has won 7 Awards and has been nominated for 3 other ones. A young actress to remember! ***Another reason to watch this movie: the true African reality: the cities, the landscapes, the markets, customs, and traditions, sometimes obscure, but that have the right to be respected. Shot in Africa, which makes it exceptionally authentic. This all provides a viewer with a chance to see the real Africa on screen.*** ***A HUGE movie! A Deep Cultural Clash! Definitively a Must Have*** Product Description
