The 17th century: By some miracle an African village seems to have escaped from the slave raids of the powerful King Adanggaman, a tyrant and slaver with a thirst for gold, power, rum and baubles. Old N'go, who heads his household with authority and according to the caste tradition, tries to make his son Ossei marry a young girl from a rich family. Ossei refuses to obey his father and picks Mawa to be his wife. One night, at the height of the family conflict, Ossei leaves the village. This is the moment when the Amazons of the tyrant slaver Adanggaman decide to carry out a treacherous raid, putting to fire and sword the village and capturing men, women and children...


________________________________________

Siglo XVIII: un pueblo africano del golfo de Guinea parece haber escapado milagrosamente de la caza de esclavos del poderoso rey Adanggaman, un tirano esclavista sediento de oro, poder y ron, atraído por la pacotilla. El viejo N'Go dirige su hogar según mandan los cánones de su casta y no admite desafío a la autoridad. Quiere que su hijo Ossei se case con Adjo, hija de buena cuna. Pero Ossei es un rebelde y rehúsa someterse a la autoridad paterna porque ama a Mawa. Después de una disputa familiar, Ossei deja el pueblo. Esa misma noche, llegan las amazonas de Adanggaman, asolan el pueblo, capturan a hombres, mujeres y niños, también a Mô Akassi, la madre de Ossei.
