Synopsis
Banel and Adama are fiercely in love. Longing for a home of their own, they decide to live apart from their families. But when Adama informs the village council that he will not accept his blood duty as future chief, the whole community is disrupted. The rain that is supposed to come does not come. The star-crossed lovers learn that where they live, there is no room for passions, let alone for chaos.
