Content:
A young African boy looks after the welfare of his tribe with wit and ingenuity. A spirited, entirely child-friendly animated film (the sequel to "Kiriku and the Sorceress" from 1998), which tells of everyday life in Africa in four self-contained episodes. The film convinces with its warm colors, calmness and peacefulness and can also give younger children an understanding of the African continent.

Kiriku finds a spring which the village community uses to plant a vegetable garden. But one day this garden is destroyed. Now they have to find another way to earn a living. But here, too, Kiriku has a brilliant idea: he finds clay that can be used to make pots to sell at the local market. Kiriku also has to find an antidote for a disease affecting all the women in the village.
