A young dignitary named Otun considers that the elders neglect their responsabilities and do not practice initiations like they used to. The fact that they chose a woman to be the leader of the village proves that decline. Since he want to rectify it, he kidnaps children from their mother and practice their initiations himself, in the sacred woods. However, the elders do not intend to remain passive, so they call the spirit of the ancestors to punish Otun for his arrogance. A spectacular battle between those magic forces will lead to the elders' victory.
