"I couldn't imagine that I will get myself into situation like this." "Massai live neither in future nor in past." "They live here and now." "For too long I didn't understand that way of life." "For too long." "THE WHITE MASSAI" "It happened in Kenya after two weeks of vacation." "This was our last day there." "I wanted to spend even more time there." "Stefan decided that we should finally go to Mumbassa." "We were together for over two years." "And I was confident in our relationship." "Are you ready Carola?" "Carola, this is massai!" " What?" " The massai." "Carola?" "This land left ineffaceable impression upon me." "The peace, colors, sounds, people." "I wanted to be there." "A little strange, I must say." "We're almost there." "Stefan, I'm afraid of this place." "Today is our last day here." "Yeah, okay." "You wait here." "You wait for me." "Please, one minute, yes?" "It'll take a minute, I'll be back." "What?" "He said we should wait here." " Move, this is a set-up!" " Wait!" "Jumbo, any problems?" "We are a little lost." "Maybe do you know the way to the ferries?" " Ferry?" " Yes." "Come, come." "Take my shot." " Is it okay?" " Yes, yes." " Thank you." " Okay, thank you." "Thank you." "Every person has special memories in their life." "I couldn't think of anything special in mine." "Hey!" "Damn!" "What now?" "I don't even know." "Come!" "Come!" "Come with us!" " Wanna come with them?" " I don't think so." " Oh, come on." " No." "Come on." "Thank you." "Good bye." "You wanna..." "Wanna come with us for a drink?" "Okay." "What's the occasion?" "One drink, we'll have fun." "Jumbo, excuse me." "Can you make a photo please?" "Smile please." "Thank you." "Stop." "Residents only." "They are my guests." "I'm sorry, residents only." "It's okay, it's okay." " Where do you go?" " Bush." "Wait!" "Let's go with them." "Thank you." "Stefan." " Tonight is the last night." " I know." " What's the matter with you?" " Nothing." "I wanna go." "Hello." "Three cokes please." "You dance?" "Don't you want?" "Come drink with us." "We're sitting over there." "I don't want to drink." "What happened?" "Let me go!" "It's Christmass." "Christmass is the celebration of love!" "Stefan." "Stop this right now!" "I'm sorry I have to go now." "Thank you." " Good bye, Lemalian." " Good bye, Carola." " Hello." " Hello, sir." "Thank you very much." " Would you like to seat together?" " Yes." "Thank you, madam." "Thank you." "I'm not coming." "What?" "I'm not coming." "Carola, please." "Stefan." "I'm not coming." "You have maggots in your head." "It's not maggots." "What then?" " You start getting on my nerves." " I haven't even started yet." "This is not working anymore." "Thank you sir." "Eventually I saw my man getting on the flight." "I was waiting." "Suddenly I felt growing detachment from him." "I must do it." "I must do it whatever it takes." " Hello." " Hello, Carola." " Where's..." " Lemalian?" " Yeah." " Home." "Home?" "Where's home?" "Barseloi, Samburu." "How do I get to Barseloi?" "Take a bus to Neirobi." "In Neirobi you ask for a bus to Maralai." "To Malarai." "And in Maralai?" "In Malarai you ask for Elisabeth." "Elisabeth." "Excuse me, where do I buy a ticket to Maralai?" "Ticket to Maralai?" " Ticket to what?" " Maralai." "Ah, Maralai." "Hello." "To Maralai ticket?" " When does it leave?" " After one hour." "Bus went for 13 hours." "I was taking a trip to Maralai." "There's not much to see for tourists there." "But I liked it." "I felt peaceful in this bus." "Are you okay?" "Very bad." " Are you a doctor?" " No." " Where are you going?" " Maralai." " What for?" "Business?" " No." " A man." " Samburu?" "Do you know this man?" " This man?" " Yeah." "No, I don't know this man." "Elisabeth?" "Muzungu?" "Yes, I know Elisabeth Muzungu." "I'll be your guide." "If you want to swim, I'll show you the best swim." "I'll show you the best coffee shop..." "Elisabeth!" "Pay them, not too much." "Thank you." " So where you're from?" " Switzerland." "I guess you need a shower." "And if you didn't find me?" " I didn't think about it." " You should." "So you want to see a man." "Coffee?" "You think I must have gone crazy." " What is his name?" " Lemalian." "A Samburu warrior from Barseloi." "So what?" "You are married to a Kenyan." "This is a town." "Barseloi is not." "There's only shadows and dust." "There's no shower, no drinking water." "One day they live in a place, the next day this place is ruined." "It's hard to live there." "Unusual for you, that's for sure." "So do you know this man?" "I mean... what do you expect?" "I better come to Barseloi." "I don't understand you." "Somebody must make it clear for you." "What women want is not so important." "Not for a warrior." "This is Carola from Switzerland." "She'd like to stay with us." "Is that okay?" "This is Moses, my man." " Would you like something to eat?" " Yeah." " Where's that opener?" " It's in the shelf." "A warrior cannot eat with women." "A warrior cannot eat what woman cooked." "A warrior cannot allow a woman to touch another warrior, you can touch only him." "Touch goes a long way here." "I know." "I want to go with my friends." "I want to go with my friends." "Moses was one of the most handsome men in Maralai." "And he knew it." "Moses is a very proud man." "Don't think about everything, you go direct to your aim." "And you?" "I have a house and my garden." "For a white woman, there's not much to do here." "Lemalian is the first man I went for." "I don't think about the life here." "I don't think about myself." "Are you sure that he's the one?" "I hope so." "I don't know." "Besides Lemalian was the first man I went looking for." "I will find him." "Maybe he will find me." "In any case I try." "You are here for ten days now..." "Bad figures." "Will you come back?" "Everything okay?" "Everything is okay." "Everything is in order." "In order?" "You stay with me." "You stay with me." "In Samburu you don't look back when you're leaving." "They think it's bad luck." "I don't want to look back." "Not any more." "Carola." "Listen." "Wait." "This is my mother." "Switzerland." "Everything super." "My name is Carola." "I'm looking for Lemalian." "Just straight that way." "Thanks." "Good night, Carola." "Thanks." "No, no, no, come." "Women don't undress." "You don't undress here." "Come." "Will you help me?" "No." "No." "Slowly." "Eyes." "Nose." "Mouth." "Sorry?" "I just want to say hello." "You're standing on my onions." "Are you from Germany?" "From Switzerland." "Carola Leiman." "Father Bernardo." "I have literally found one woman in Maralai." "How did you get here?" "On foot." "From Maralei." "I need to repair my car." "If you will be so kind as to excuse me, I have work to do."
