Mba Owona is the village chief and the ngengang, the healer of Nsola, an Evuzok village in the jungle of southern Cameroon. He deals with the evils that come from a night world populated by spirits that attack his people. Mba Owona is an “anti-witch”; he has a special gift and a responsibility towards his fellow villagers.
The documentary is inspired by the work of Lluís Mallart, a Catalan anthropologist and friend of Mba Owona, who lived for many years in Cameroon.
