Description

Karen Blixen is a wealthy Danish woman in a marriage of convenience with Baron Bor Blixen-Flecke. In 1914, the Baron moves himself and his wife to a plantation in Nairobi, then leaves Karen to her own devices as he returns to his womanizing and drinking. Karen falls in love with charming white hunter Denys Finch-Hatton, who prefers a no-strings relationship. A woman who prides herself on her independence, Blixen finds herself unhappily in thrall to an aloof man – and doubly unhappy for living out such a cliché situation.
