Tolobuwa, the Oluvilei village chief, discusses the meaning of the magic stones and string game with his son Topiki. Such a tale adopts beliefs, poetry and mystery, the film takes place over three days where each villager plays their own part, punctuated by the voice of the island poet John Kasaipwalova, who throws some light on the ancestral poetic language and the use of string games.
