"She eats them..." - the superstitious villagers declare.

Karaba is a stunning and cruel woman, surorunded by fearless and servile fetishes. but no sooner has Kirikou delivered himself from his mother's womb than he wants to rid the village of Karaba's curse and understand the cause of her wickedness.
