Sinopsis(1)
Enter the vibrant and spiritual kingdom of Mabunos, a land in the heart of Cameroon caught in crisis ever since an unknown suspect poisoned its king. When a long-exiled seer suggests that his guide and the crown prince embark on a seven-day journey to the Sacred Cave in search of a cure, the kingdom must face up to long-buried truths and ancestral discord if it hopes to save their ruler once and for all. Featuring a spellbinding quest through scenic forests and perilous villages, and a cast of brilliant characters – a toad princess, a cruel sorcerer, a magical machete and a court of bickering aides – this vividly animated feature from Cameroon showcases a passionate vision of a timeless tale. La grotte sacrée is an innovative entry into the field that reflects the culture of its making with mystery, enchantment and joy. This feature is a pioneering production from Daniel Minlo and Cyrille Masso, two of Cameroon’s most unique filmmaking talents and a valiant story of truth, friendship, tradition and loyalty that will resonate with adults and young people alike.
