Good concept, poorly executed.

Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Blistering performances.

This work is framed by a prologue and an epilogue ,both taking place in present time,which tends to show that if the Young educated man has embraced a scientific attitude ,his old man still thinks that it's the Gods who rule the world.As the ending of the legend tells us:" he tried to kill the soothsayer;but he did not kill the traditions".It's a period of drought ,the wells are empty ;the king of the tribe summons the soothsayer who declares that he has visions of a return to years of plenty .But he also sees blood and the Gods demand the sacrifice of a Young woman,Toula.A Young man in love with her goes in search of water to save his love.A race against time begins.Far from all Hollywood conventions,this is a worthwhile work,if only for its authenticity:it was made with the collaboration of non-Professional people from tribes ,with a great economy of means (it may seem amateurish to some,but it reinforces the credibility).In the legend ,the Young man leaves his tribe to their superstitions ;in real life,the Young scientist insists that meteorology exists,but his forefather has the last word.
