| Sumario: | In Nzarayapera's village, famine and hunger strike after rain could not fall. The sky remains blue with scorching heat that leaves no creature desiring to move on with life. Chief Nzarayapera and his councillors believe this scourge is a curse from the ancestors. They think of holding a ceremony to mollify the ancestors and petition rain. The ceremony is held, but nothing happens - except that hunger and famine strike even harder. This sets a fertile ground for conflict between traditionalists, Christians, and scientists who lay blame on one another and take turns to intercede for the people. |
