Esi the Brave
Esi est une petite Ghanéenne courageuse qui adore les monstres, les fantômes et tout ce qui fait boum dans la nuit. Quand sa famille se rend au Festival Kakamotobi — une fête de mascarade vibrante à Winneba, au Ghana — Esi insiste qu'elle n'a peur de rien. Mais quand les danseurs masqués l'entourent et qu'elle se retrouve séparée de Maman et Papa, Esi doit trouver le vrai courage pour affronter les monstres tourbillonnants et réclamer ses parents. Une célébration joyeuse de la bravoure, des festivals ghanéens et du moment où un enfant découvre ce que signifie être vraiment courageux.
