Džunglilaps

Born in Nepal in 1972, Sabine Kuegler tells the story of how she spent her childhood as the daughter of German explorers in the primeval forest of West Papua with the newly discovered Fayu tribe, who lived as if in the Stone Age.

For the little blonde girl, the jungle was love at first sight. She learned to use a bow, climb trees and swim in rivers teeming with crocodiles... Instead of French fries, she ate roasted insects, instead of chewing gum, she chewed bat wings...

When she returned to Europe alone at the age of 17, life there took a catastrophic turn for her. Everything was new to her: how to shop, how to greet, how to cross the street... Mobile phones and television were miracles for her.

Now, after years spent in civilization, she has adapted outwardly. She has her own media company near Hamburg and has 4 children. However, he is haunted by a longing for the jungle and the question: who am I really, a Fayu or a European?

"In the lost valley, among a forgotten people, I was happy. In the rest of the world, I felt like a lost soul.
