Under the scorching sun of Namibia, a young woman dares to embark on the adventure of her life. Berlin, 1901. Jella has been living alone with her mother in the city since her father went missing in German South West Africa, now Namibia. The two women make ends meet through sewing, as Jella's grandfather, a wealthy baron, wants nothing to do with them. Jella is an outsider for more than just this reason. She has graduated from high school and wants to study. However, all her plans come crashing down when her mother unexpectedly dies. In a whirlwind, the young woman travels to Africa to finally search for her father and start a new life. Thus, she embarks on a journey through the savannah, which will hold many adventures – and perhaps, in the end, true love. The Africa Saga by Blanvalet: 1. The Call of the Kalahari 2.
