After a minor incident in her village, nine-year-old Shula is exiled to a travelling witch camp where she is told that if she tries to escape she will be transformed into a white goat. As she navigates through her new life, she must decide whether to accept her fate or risk the consequences of seeking freedom. (Artificial Eye)
Kritiken (2)
Had the story been 40 minutes long, it probably wouldn’t be bad. This way, it’s hard to endure the African view of life for very long. It may seem interesting at first glance, but as soon as the shaman starts dancing in the office and begins to contemplate one girl’s life, believe me, it will start to annoy you. As a curiosity, the movie is good but it doesn’t have much of a chance to attract more attention in Europe.

This is a film that may not sit well with you, and you may think it's just crazy how people live in Africa, but they may think we're just as crazy. But the fact is that accusing a little girl of witchcraft is a bit much. Unfortunately, even in this day and age, there are people who will believe it. And I'd be willing to bet they're not all from Africa.
