In 1955, the Ndorobos left their ancestral territory for the famous Maasaï Mara, one of the last living sanctuaries of the African fauna. Since millenaries, this tribe of hunters-gatherers live in perfect harmony with the wildness. But the savannah can also be dangerous.
Through the acquisition of ancient knowledge, the young Ndorobos learn to live in osmosis with the bush and its animals. To survive in this hostile world, they must achieve a deep understanding of them.
Their successful cohabitation is made possible by a perfect understanding of the natural world, that includes some specific attitudes, by a perfect reading and anticipation of the animals’ mood. This is the price for survival.
These knowledge of the savannah and the rules of the natural world are passed by Oloaï, the great warrior, to Awa, his grandson. Oloaï explains and shows him everything he knows about the majestic lion, the formidable hippopotamus, the unpredictable buffalo. He learns him how to behave and move in the bush to avoid their possible anger.
We’ll follow Oloaï and Awa’s journey. They will leave at the sunrise, follow the natural rhythms of the most fantastic animals of the African bush to introduce us to the secrets of their behaviour. Are they peaceful ? Are they threatening ? Are they going to attack ?
