Synopsis

In Ancient Africa, men from the enemy tribes Efik and Efó condemn Princess Sikán for the alleged betrayal of revealing the sacred secret of humanity. Sikán manages to escape and dives into the depths of the river, becoming a fish to protect the secret with her life. But, every thousand years, Sikán is brought to the surface – where, vulnerable, she arouses the desire of a group of men to possess her and remain in power. Then, five brave women, each with a different mission, take charge of returning Sikán to the river, thus protecting her legacy and keeping the secret safe for her successor.
