About this movie

A Masai war chief dies trying to kill the lion Vitchua, which the tribe believes is the incarnation of a god that must be killed to end the seasonal drought. Eight untested teenage warriors are sent on a quest to hunt down Vitchua. Led by young Lomotoon (Parkasio Ole Muntet) and older warrior Papai (Paul Nteri Sekenan), the bickering youths are joined by Lomotoon's impoverished friend, Merono (Ngotiek Ole Mako). Along their quest, they endure difficult conditions and hostile tribes.
