The film focuses on peace-making efforts by seven different ethnic groups in Southern Ethiopia to end years of war between each other. Delegations of elders come together to jointly curse war, bless peace and never to fight with one another again. Curses are uttered as spears are blunted with stones and then carried to a termite mound to be broken and left there for the ants to devour. After the instruments of war are destroyed, tools of peace are given to all participants. Holding their tools of peace, the elders chant in union, calling forth the peace they desire.
