However, the young boy struggles to fully embrace the peaceful philosophy of his people, as well as the wise counsel of his elders… It is then that Anansi, the sorcerer, has a vision of an apocalypse: the village is going to be invaded by foreigners endowed with mysterious and deadly powers! The members of the clan now face a dilemma: how to defend themselves when their beliefs impose non-violence?
