Tropiafric - Grüße aus der Wildnis

A humorous and ironic film that draws attention to the problems of long-distance tourism and European arrogance: A German travels through Africa (Hotel Diana Beach, Mombasa, Kenya); his superficial and clichéd commentary, dictated into a cassette recorder, contrasts with the beauty of the landscape and the fascination of the foreign continent, which cannot be captured by superficial brochure terms. A young tourist who throws herself wholeheartedly into the African adventure succeeds in developing a greater understanding.
