As a filmographer filming a documentary at an orphanage in Nairobi, Daisy is baffled by the smiles of the young children there. She almost cannot comprehend their happiness. Daisy is an outsider peering into an African society in Kenya. She is swooped up by a handsome man and finds herself in his bed. She also soon finds out that he is married and has children. She, shocked by this, gathers herself up to leave his house. But there is a noise outside, and the two delay their parting. The man goes outside to confront the noise and sees that his car has been damaged. Two young boys stand as culprits before him, along with their father. The father, Edmond, works for the man and is one of his many staff. The man yells at the Edmond’s boys and strikes one in the face twice. He returns to the house, telling Daisy about the situation. He takes Daisy to meet another one of his staff members, Edmond’s wife, who does his laundry. Before leaving, Edmond’s wife, Cecily, turns to look at Daisy. Daisy smiles at her, trying to read her expression, and her breath escapes her when she realizes the expression on Cecily’s face: pity. A phrase comes to mind: pole, pole. A saying amongst Kenyans meaning many things--amongst them, sorry, remorse, and pity. Daisy suddenly feels free, and she refuses to explain herself to the man, to anyone. Daisy leaves his house, holding desperately onto that feeling.
