In a village from Mozambique folk tales, Nwavu, and old blind man, is running out of time to leave a descendent. With the aid of the venerable Wizard, he plans to marry the young Djamilah, who is caught by the imposition of traditions and has her freedom at risk. But Nwavu's acts will open the doorways to the spirit world, where the laws of reality don?t apply in the same way. When the plan backfires, Nwavu will have a taste of his own medicine.
