Quotes:
« Karen Blixen: When you go away… you don't always go on safari, do you? Just want to be away.
»
« Denys: It's not meant to hurt you.
»
« Karen Blixen: It does.
»
« Denys: I'm with you because I choose to be with you. I don't want to live someone else's idea of how to live. Don't ask me to do that. I don't want to find out one day that I'm at the end of someone else's life. I'm willing to pay for mine. To be lonely sometimes. To die alone, if I have to. I think that's fair.
»
« Karen Blixen: Not quite. You want me to pay for it as well.
»
« Denys: No, you have a choice, and you're not willing to do the same for me.
»
« Karen Blixen: It's an odd feeling, farewell. There is such envy in it. Men go off to be tested, for courage. And if we're tested at all, it's for patience, for doing without, for how well we can endure loneliness.
»
« Baron Bror Blixen: That's a fine kiss goodbye.
»
« Karen Blixen: I'm better at hello.

Plots:
In 20th-century colonial Kenya, a Danish baroness/plantation owner has a passionate love affair with a free-spirited big-game hunter.
Follows the life of Karen Blixen, who establishes a plantation in Africa. Her life is complicated by a husband of convenience (Bror Blixen), a true love (Denys Finch-Hatton), troubles on the plantation, schooling of the natives, war, and catching VD from her husband.
Initially set on being a dairy farmer, the aristocratic Karen Blixen travels to Africa to join her husband, Bror, who instead spends their money on a coffee plantation. After discovering Bror is unfaithful, Karen develops feelings for hunter Denys, but realizes he prefers a simplistic lifestyle compared to her upper class background. The two continue on until a series of events force Karen to choose between her love and personal growth.
