- This film is about tribes in Africa and South America who turn toward magic as a means of survival and way of life. The Mundari tribe in Africa herd cattle but do not slaughter them for meat. They make use of the cattle urine as an insect repellent and shower underneath their cows. They also use the dung as a body covering to further thwart insects and pest. The cattle are so prized to the Mundari that they are treated as a member of the family and a number of Mundari are shown puffing into the cattle's vagina to encourage an early birth. A hunt is then shown where the Mundari are able to bring down mighty Elephants and Giraffes with ease. Yet unlike sport hunters they hunt merely for survival and pay respect to the beast before eating them. The Dinka tribe is another group who praise their cattle but they bleed the cows and mix it in their milk to help sustain tribes during periods of hunger. They also migrate to different areas along the Nile as to not over consume their pastures.

- Eritrea, a small country in the Horn of Africa. The former Italian colony has been through a thirty-year war of liberation that has left its marks - on the people and their landscape. In 1993 Eritrea finally gained independence from Ethiopia. A celebrated new beginning, even if the reconstruction of the country has come to a standstill. However, the most important achievement of the colonial period was immediately put back into operation: the steam railway, which already a hundred years ago connected the capital Asmara in the highlands with the port city Massawa on the Red Sea. The notion of national unity is the long-awaited pride of a free Eritrea. Meanwhile it is quiet in the railway depot of Asmara. The wind sweeps through the cracks of the ailing outer walls and makes cobwebs float back and forth in the same spot. From time to time a railway worker walks over the rails. In this lethargic, semi-darkness we explore the microcosms of the railway company. We get to know Hinza, the young train driver, and Fezahatsion, the old chief mechanic who experienced the glorious times of the railway. Little by little, the poetic images intensify and draw a picture of today's Eritrea: a picture of standstill, a picture of passion for the ancient steam railway, a picture of rebellion against its decay, but above all a picture of deep friendship.
