The White Masai

The White Masai German Die weie Massai , directed by Hermine Huntgeburth, is a 2005 film about a woman named Carola Nina Hoss falling in love in Kenya with Maasai Lemalian Jacky Ido. The film is based on an autobiographical novel of the same name by the German born writer Corinne Hofmann. In the film version, names have been changed from those in the novel.

She travels to Switzerland to sell her shop there, promising Lemalian to come back to him. She does, and they marry and have a daughter. Carola buys a car and starts a shop. They lose money on the shop because Lemalian gives too much credit to friends and neighbors, and because they have to pay bribes to the minichief. Lemalian argues that this is no problem because she has more money in Switzerland.The minichief demands that Carola hires his teenage nephew as a shop assistant. She has to accept this although she does not need him and he does not work hard. After some time, when he is just drinking beer and not working, she fires him. Later he returns and attacks her. A local judge rules that she has to pay two goats for firing him, but the boys family has to pay her five goats to compensate for the attack. ........
