This short animated film, set in the time of slavery, centres on the legends and myths of Curaçao. Drawn by a mysterious voice, an enslaved boy flees his plantation and heads into the wilderness. There, he meets The Storyteller, an old escaped enslaved man, who tells him a forgotten mythical tale about the flying Africans, accompanied by the rhythmic sounds of the tambú. The boy loses his way and is confronted with a traumatic memory, but also finds strength in The Storyteller's tale.
