Background:
Kirikou was born in an African village in the grips of Karaban, the evil witch. She is said to have captured and devoured all the men in the village, to have dried up the spring, and she terrorizes the women and the children of the village with the help of her army of fetishes.

Kirikou, an ingenuous boy, seeks the reason behind Karaba's evil. In his quest he meets strange enemies and has to find ways of fending off their attacks. However, humor is ever present, even in the fights, and Kirikou succeeds by avoiding confrontation. He turns his enemies' violence against them whilst trying to understand its source.
