Following a long ethnographic study, the movie introduces the strange organization of the world of African sages and healers. The knowledge is possessed by the healers, men and women chosen by the Kinkirsis, geniuses of the invisible world who pass on their power to them. While it is difficult to evaluate the efficiency of the healer's various methods, their remarkable knowledge of the plants they use for their treatments should be recognized.
