A Far Off Place Page #2

Synopsis: The witty Nonni and the stuck-up city-boy Harry are the only ones to survive a massacre of a gang of poachers among the gamekeeper's family on his lonesome farm in the savanna. Now the ruthless murderers are after them as the only witnesses. Without a means of transportation, the only way to escape is to walk through 2000 kilometers of Kalahari desert with the help of the African bushman Xhabbo. On the months-long journey ahead they not only become good friends against their differences, but also realize that every one of them has strength and skills that are required to survive.

- Cave!

OK. Cave.

D- don't shoot. It's me, Harry.

- Harry.

- What are you doing out here?

Walking off the pt. Who's he?

It's none of your business.

Just go back to the house.

Harry must come with

Xhabbo and Nonnie.

What? To the cave?

Well, hey. I'm invited. Let's go.

- So, what happened to him?

- "Him" has a name: Xhabbo.

- So what happened to Xhabbo?

- You don't want to know.

- What? A lion get him?

- No, it was a leopard.

Those must be a million years old.

How'd you find this place?

I didn't. Xhabbo showed me.

Here. Smash these.

Ugh. Look, this guy needs

antibiotics, not voodoo.

You know,

I got Band-Aids back in my room.

Here.

This should help you sleep.

Promise. Stay in cave, Nonnie.

What is it?

Did you have a tapping?

What did you see?

OK. I promise.

And Harry?

No, no, no.

I'm not spending the night in here.

Scared of sleeping in a cave?

What do you think? After camping out

in Central Park, you know, this is...

Well, then what's the big deal?

Stay here, Hintza.

Don't look at me.

Go and empty the rooms. Go on.

I'll tell you what we leave.

Get out of that.

Bring it along, bring it along.

So, everyone taken care of?

The children aren't here.

We looked everywhere.

Two kids on foot.

How far can they get?

- OK, now take care of the rest of the room.

- Yes, my boss.

- Don't forget the computer.

- Yes, boss.

OK...

The girl!

Under the truck! Get her!

Whoa!

What the hell is going on?

Talk to me!

Tell me, goddamn it!

They killed them!

Don't you understand?

They killed everybody!

My mother and father,

your father, Koba, everybody!

I've got to go to the border station

and radio Mopani.

- I'm going down there.

- You go tell Xhabbo what happened.

And you stay with him

in that cave until I come back!

I don't believe you!

OK, let's spread out!

Come on, men, move it!

Samual!

They are with Mantis now.

Gods are like old people.

You think they are deaf, but they are not.

Pain gets better

when you find good name.

This is "Cave you cried for your father".

We gotta get out of here. They smashed

the radio. And they killed Samual.

- I couldn't reach Mopani.

- Tapping told Xhabbo,

"Danger for Nonnie and Harry. "

Not for parents.

I'm sorry. They were poachers,

and my dad was trying to stop them.

Yeah, well, my father wasn't.

He was just a tourist.

- We follow wind.

- What do you mean?

Xhabbo had a tapping.

We follow wind.

I don't care what you had.

You follow the wind.

- I want the nearest town.

- But the wind blows west.

Are you listening to me?

I said the nearest town with a phone.

Shh.

Are you saying we should cross

the Kalahari? That's impossible.
