Kambirí
by Lluis Prats
Description
Based on a real story, on a hot midday in July, the Guardia di Finanza of Lampedusa rescues a burning boat in the middle of the sea. In it travels Kambirí, a nine months old baby. Her mother has died in the fire, but before dying she entrusted her to a traveling companion, who delivers the child to Niccolò Salviati, the doctor who awaits the migrants in the port. A few weeks later the doctor decides to adopt her and look for her father with the few references that the mother’s friend has given him. But the negotiations are unsuccessful. Time passes and Kambirí grows and becomes a slender and intelligent girl. They have raised her among all those who frequent the Café del Amicizia. Fifteen years later, the doctor realizes by chance that he looked for Kambiri’s father in the wrong place and tries again. This time he is sure that he will be able to reunite father and daughter despite assuming he will drink the most bitter coffee of his life, but he knows that he must comply with the law of the sea: shipwrecked people are helped no matter what happens.
