"Totor" is the name given by the hero of this film, a boy called Mèntse, to a tortoise that keeps growing fatter.
"Totor", is the story of an orphan boy who meets his alcoholic father several times without ever speaking to him, and who is finally taken in by pygmies. In the pygmy village he makes friends with Ngâ'nsi, a young orphan like him who has such extraordinary divining powers (she sees the truth...) that she eventually runs away from the village. But Mèntse and Ngâ'nsi share the same destiny and finally meet again at the end of the story.
In the meantime Mèntse also leaves the pygmy village to retrace his past. He is finally taken in by a bad man named Isaac and his wife, a young woman who could very well be his mother.
Mistreated by adults, alone in the world, Mèntse's diverts all his affections to the "Totor" the tortoise.But the tortoise is an animal venerated by some people and cursed by others... or worse, the tortoise is very much sought after by disreputable merch.
