Compelling are when the two cultures collide

(2005) The White Masai (Although they're many languages spoken including English and natural African, much of this film is in German with English subtitles) DRAMA

Adapted from the novel by Corinne Hofmann, a movie based on fact centering on the adventures of a white Caucasian German woman from Sweden, Carola (Nina Hoss) succumbing to adapt and fall in love with an African Masai warrior, Lemalian (Jacky Ido) of the Samburu tribe. The love story can also serve as a backdrop about two cultures colliding, with the female protagonist adapting to the old methods of a particular African tribe that does not conform to change which is compelling, but of course can only last so long as the African man in question start to consist of the same jealous tendencies as any other man living in a city. There were some scenes I didn't care about but still compelling.
