They decide to get married and move to Kenya, for the derelict ranch Ol ari Nyiro that they can afford. Throughout the years, they build and rebuild their estate due to storm and animals and Emanuele goes to a boarding school. He likes to collect snakes and Kuki does not object provided they are not poison. One day, Paolo has a car accident and dies, leaving Kuki pregnant of a baby girl that she raises alone.
