Storyline

Ephraim is a young Ethiopian boy. His mother has recently passed away and his father has decided that he will take the boy and his inseparable sheep, far from his drought-ridden homeland, to live with cousins in a farmland area with rolling green hills while he goes to Addis Ababa looking for work. His new house has no electricity or gadgets. Ephraim isn’t very good at farming, but he has a hidden talent: he is an excellent cook. One day, his uncle tells him that they have to sacrifice his sheep for the next religious feast. The young boy, however, is ready to do anything to save his only friend and return home.
