In this feminist satirical fairy tale set in Zambia, Shula arrives unexpectedly in a village where suspicions about her quickly lead to her trial and conviction for witchcraft. She's sent to a camp for witches, tethered, and told she'll turn into a goat if she tries to escape, but her star status as the only child witch causes adults to exploit her and makes her consider her future.
