Nirgendwo in Afrika Page #3

---

You promise?

I promise

I'll follow you and get you a new Toto.

No. I dont want a new Toto.

I didn't protect it good enough.

Its mother would have taken more care of it.

I am not a good mother...

...for an antelope.

You are smart little Memsaab.

Take care of our stuff!

Good bye, Owuor!

Good bye, Rummler!

Suddenly we were no longer | refugees but enemies

We didnt even know why the | British were locking us up.

We were Germans and Germany | was in war with Great Britain.

But we were Jews as well and | obviously not on Hitlers side

Get off miladies

Thats a nice prison!

Can you understand that?

Maybe they didnt know | where to keep us

Whats that?

Don't know. Something British.

Excuse me. Still free?

This remembers me of better times.

The chef de la cuisine used to | cook on a luxury cruise.

Im very hungry! | This is lobster.

Fish, nice fish! | No thanks.

Thank you. | What"s wrong with it, ladies?

I Breslau we were never alone. | There was always something to do.

What a life!

Oh yeah, before immigation!

Are you done? Thanks.

No message for your husband?

Its the feeling of being alone. | The feeling that you have

anything to say. | That you own anything

Some children maybe. | Realizing this is very painful!

You know what I am talking about?

Loneliness is a thing I can talk about.

With a wife like Jettel? | Such a beautiful woman!

Shes happy and full of life.

Maybe you dont give her | a real chance.

Back home everything was fine. | Everyone played his part...

Now you can see.

I dont want to see reality. | But I want a grown up wife,

who I can talk to!

I have to put it past me. My dad, Liesel...

Shut the f*** up!

Oi!

Sometimes I think we are 2 parcels.

Wrapped up together in a train

with unknown destination.

Nobody knows what the other one contains.

You think too much.

Hey!

Soon we started to get used to the hotel. | Every day our mothers and us took

a walk in he shadow and thought | what we were going to get for lunch.

If we could just spend a couple | of hours outside.

Inside you get insane.

Mum, Im hungry! | You are all Jews, arent you.

Why dont you just write a letter | To your community in Nairobi!

They still have something to say | in this country.

Soon the government figured out that | not all the Germans are with Hitler.

2 weeks later we could visit the | husbands in the camp.

With the brown uniforms it was hard to see

who was British and who was German.

Dad, got a real friend!

Shes called Inge. She | already kows how to read!

And mum wrote a letter!

A real letter, so that we could visit you!

You wrote to the British?

Perhaps we can go to Rongai soon!

You were very unhappy in Rongai right? | You guys want to drink something?

We all want to get back to the farms!

We cant go back to Rongai.

I was made redundant. Because of the war. | Morrison doesnt want to hire Enemy Alien

So I have no work and we have no home.

No matter what we have to do to | get our stuff from the farm.

Maybe he is still waiting for us. | Because he thinks that we may come back.

Then grandpa will maybe meet Owuor.

Yeah of course!

May I help you?

I need a special permission. | I have to visit Mr. Edward Rubens,

the mayor of the Jewish community. | Its very important that I talk to him.

Here we are. | Please help yourself, Mrs. Redlich.

My husband and I we have been at | the Olymmpics in Berlin!

My first time in Germany. | My God, we were naiv.

Until the end we thought our | civilized friends will help us

and stop Hitler.

Where are you now? | Where have you been in 38?

Hitler didnt invent anti-Semitism! | I dont think, Mrs Redlich came here

to discuss politics with you! Right? | How can we help you my dear?

Mr. Morrison, the owner of our farm | doesnt want Enemmy Aliens anymore.

But without work Walter cant leave the farm

and we dont know how to find new work. | Thats why I beg you for help.

Wed do anything.

Do you think you are the only one | who suffers from war?

Or do you think we are responsible?

You are alive! | By God, make the best out of it!

Eddie! Im sorry, I cant help you! | Excuse me.

We have relatives in Poland.

For ages my husband hasnt heard | anything from them.

Sorry about that.

Well, good luck, my dear. Please take | these Biscuits for your little girl.

Thanks. Bye.

What are you doing here?

Why, what do you mean?

You are looking for a job for your husband. | On a farm

I got a friend here at the army.

He needs somebody.

I could talk to him.

That would be great.

...6... 7... 8...

Youre very beautiful, Mrs. Redlich.

Where were you? You have mail.

Looks pretty important.

Yesterday... today... what | the f*** means morgen?

Tomorrow! | Maybe you can remember this finally!

Tomorrow, there will be rain in Kenia.

Pussycat, pussycat, where have you been?

Pussycat, pussycat, what did you there?

Oh God, Regina!

Walter!

What did I do?

Here we are, Owuor!

Dad! The holy mountain! | Looks like a Chinese hat

Hey! Come down here? | Youll brake your neck!

Thats the most beautiful place on Earth!

Thanks.

I am scared.

This place is much further away | from your farm than Rongai.

We wont see you often.

You promise?

We will see each other | more often than you like!

The damn cattle is out again.

Very good.

Im your Bwana and I...

want you to undress yourself!

You will get grilled chicken if you do.

And now on the way down there. | Like a African woman.

Did you miss me in your hotel?

Good morning.

My name is Walter.

You will need my help.

I live here for 40 years.

I appreciate your offer!

Did Bwana Gibson die?

No.

He doesn't have time to be here.

He is in the Royal Army

He wants me to take care of his farm.

You have to show me everything.

You are not a British Bwana right?

No. I didn't come to | become rich in this country.

I came because I was | driven out of my country.

Which is your country?

Germany - It's far away.

It is at war.

Somebody steals you an ox,

it will be killed, cooked and eaten.

You will forget that soon.

But if somebody steals your land,

then it's always there.

You can visit it. It will always be there.

You can't forget that.

Daji Jiwan is Indian. He's a good Fundi.

He can help you build the house.

As long as you work for | me you'll get your corn.

Firewood, 2 liters milk per | day and 12 Schillings per month.

12 Schillings is not much.

I don't make deals. If you don't want | to work for me someone else will do it.

These men can't build a house for you.

I'll teach them how to do it.

Bwana, Kania is my brother.

He can tidy up the rooms.

Can he cook as well?

We need a cook!

No, Kania isn't a cook, | he can tidy up the rooms.

Kamau can cook for the dog.

For whose dog?

We don't have a dog.

Yes or No?

It's very expensive.

I have to pick up the mail.

Letters with those | stamps always bring tears.

I'll be the one who | gives Bwana the letter.

Good idea. You are his friend.

Sohrau, October 2nd 1940.
