The film tells two stories apparently very distant are slowly approaching each other. On the one hand is Babarimisa, a young man from Benin who suffers from a relentless disease for which seems to have no remedy. Desperate to save his mother, Morenike, a Yoruba priestess goes to invoke the power of the Orishas gods. Meanwhile in Argentina, Shantas is a young offender living in a marginal area tainted by the practices of Umbanda, a cult derived from African religions. None of us can even imagine the surprises that come in the destination.
