The story begins in 1913 in Denmark, when Karen Dinesen (a wealthy but unmarried woman) asks her friend Baron Bror Blixen (Klaus Maria Brandauer) to enter into a marriage of convenience with her. Although Bror is a member of the aristocracy, he is no longer financially secure; therefore, he agrees to the marriage, and the two of them plan to move to Africa to begin a dairy farm.

Upon moving to British East Africa, Karen marries Bror in a brief ceremony, thus becoming Baroness Blixen. She meets and befriends various other colonial residents of the country, most of whom are British. She also meets Denys Finch Hatton (Robert Redford), a local big-game hunter with whom she develops a close friendship. However, things turn out differently from her expectations, since Bror has used her money to purchase a coffee plantation rather than a dairy farm. He also shows little inclination to put any real work into it, preferring instead to become a game hunter. Although theirs was a marriage of convenience, Karen does eventually develop feelings for Bror, but she is distressed when she learns of his extramarital affairs. To make matters worse, Karen contracts syphilis from her philandering husband (at the time, cures were uncertain) and is forced to return to Denmark for a long and difficult period of treatment using the then-new medicine Salvarsan. Bror agrees to look after the plantation in her absence.

Intelligente, romantico film che ripercorre la vita di Karen Blixen (una superlativa Meryl Streep). Sposata per convenienza con un nobile rozzo e fatuo, nel 1913 lascia la natia Danimarca alla volta di Nairobi, dove si innamora di un avventuriero inglese (Robert Redford). Ma l'Africa le offrirà alterne fortune e drammi profondi. Pollack ci offre l'immagine di un'Africa patinata e affascinante, pervasa da atmosfere d'epoca perfettamente ricostruite e splendidamente fotografata. Qualche lungaggine qua e là ma soprattutto una splendida prova di recitazione e ben cinque premi Oscar: al film, al regista e a sceneggiatura, fotografia e colonna sonora.
