Synopsis

Faced with a drought that endangers the continuity of their people, the elders are convinced that they have been cursed by the Red God--the God of Vengeance. Following the death of the war chief, a group of adolescents must now cross over to adulthood, forced to quickly form a new generation of inexperienced but brave warriors. The adolescents must bring back the mane of a legendary lion, which appears at every critical period of the Massai history to appease the wrath of the God and bring back the rains. The survival of their culture depends on this quest.
