Synopsis:
In the 21st century, many ancestral beliefs are struggling to survive in a hostile, fast-changing world. In southeast Ivory Coast, some Akan communities still make contact with the spirits through Komians, or animistic priests, who go into a trance and are possessed by the spirits of the Forest and the Waters. In the film a young man from Abidjan will set out on a journey to visit his animistic master’s grave and carry out a ritual libation. On his travel, he will attend the initiation rites of three people chosen by the spirits and witness one of them proclaimed as the new Komian, or high animistic priest.
