Opis

Nii, a young boy from the West Coast of Africa stows away on a ship to the land of dreams, America. He is thrown overboard to sharks. Protected by a mysterious rainbow fish he washes up on the shores of the South Coast of the Zulu Kingdom. After a misunderstanding over language and culture he is accepted into the cattle herding community. He teaches them to fish because -sea never dry-. They, in turn, teach him about cows because -cattle is wealth-. When Nii finally goes home, Tofi, the little girl who fought for his acceptance into the community, again fights for his return to Zululand. She is compelled to go on a pulsating search for the magic rainbow fish, and has to dance in fire.
