While holidaying in Italy with her husband, Julia, 44, begins taking care of a street dog that’s been hit by a car. All of a sudden the pain of her son’s death catches up with her. Tobias, 34, is married to a career-orientated woman. He has been taking care of their three children and cannot seem to finish his studies; now his siblings have decided that he should also take care of their sick father.Edward Berger’s film portrays three people in search of happiness and inner peace. As a result of these three concentrated character studies, the image emerges of an insecure generation in a rapidly changing world.
回复 :南非著名导演Jamie Uys的这部纪录片由西至东介绍了纳米比亚沙漠中的红白沙漠、绿洲与卡里哈利沙漠中的动物居民。导演以愉悦的心情、平等的心态展示了狒狒家族的沙上杂技、被未婚妻强迫返工的织布鸟小伙子、吃下了腐烂发酵果实导致醉酒的动物们……同时亦有严酷干旱季节中自然淘汰的伤感段落——鹈鹕父母们不得不抛弃尚未学会飞翔的子女，龟裂的地面上留下一行行干瘪的幼小身体……电影自始至终有巧妙配合交响乐的动物行为剪辑，或灵动或诙谐，辅以动画等手段将非洲沙漠的动物天堂一面介绍给喜爱动物的观众们。本片获1975年金球奖最佳纪录片奖。
