Plot
After an affair with a queen leads to his demise, an eager traveler encounters a mystical bird with the power to give him another life.
Sinekatalog’s take
A mythic Nigerian fantasy about a traveler whose fatal affair leads to a magical bird granting another life. The Yoruba folklore setting gives it color and weight. Recommended for viewers who want something visually rich and culturally rooted.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
