When a drought befalls the island, the priest blames the silent one. When the chief protects the boy, the priest plots the chiefs' downfall.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
