,.".that rarity, an almost wordless love story that avoids
pseudo-nobility while remaining proudly and distinctively African."
- The Guardian
Christian missionaries attempt to outlaw the female
circumcision ritual and in the process create a terrible rift
between the two Kikuyu communities on either side of the river. The
people are torn between those who believe in Western/Christian
education and the opportunities it will offer, and those who feel
that only unquestioned loyalty to past traditions will save them.
The growing conflict brings tragedy to a pair of young lovers who
attempted to bridge the deepening chasm.
