Features: Francesco Mazzano is an Italian documentary filmmaker and screenwriter, born in Rome in 1957. Many of his documentaries have been exhibited and awarded at the Venice and Cannes Film Festivals. Mazzano also uses her spare time to write screenplays, and her novels often incorporate cinematic techniques. The Rules of the Wild was written in a tent in Africa. The author immerses herself in the vast, boundless East African wilderness, with countless stars above and the sounds of animals all around. This is a highly romantic and exotic book, set against the backdrop of modern Nairobi, analyzing the lives and minds of contemporary white people living in Kenya, and telling the moving love story of an Italian woman named Esme. On one hand, she desperately seeks the meaning of her survival in Africa; on the other hand, she hesitates and struggles between the two men she loves.
