Nowhere in Africa is a 2001 German film set in 1938-1948. Directed by Caroline Link, it tells the story of the Redlich family, a Jewish family from Germany who are forced to flee the Nazi regime. They escape to Kenya, where they find refuge on a farm in the middle of the African savanna. Despite the dangerous and isolating environment, the family gradually adapts and grows. The film follows the development of the family as they live in Africa and as the youngest child, Regina, adapts to her new surroundings and develops a deep connection with the land. The film also explores the relationship between the father, Walter, and the family's housekeeper, Owuor, who becomes a close friend and confidant. The film's focus is on the family's process of adaptation, as they learn to come to terms with their exile and embrace the African environment. Ultimately, they must decide whether to return to Germany after the war or remain in Africa. The film won the 2002 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
