Confronted with a drought that endangers the lives of the tribe and their cattle, a group of village elders send a team of young, inexperienced warriors to search for a mythical lion, Vitchua, the incarnation of the Red God, the god of vengeance, to bring back its mane.
In so doing, the warriors will bring about the end of the curse that has taken hold of their community, and thereby call forth the rain.
