Description du film :

Isa is a white boy who is abandoned in the jungle somewhere in Southern Africa. He is found and adopted by an old couple of a Swazi tribe. Isa is somewhat isolated in the tribe because of his white skin, and gets nicknamed Orzowei, the foundling; his main antagonist is Mesei, the chief’s son. Also because of his white skin, Isa is not accepted in the warrior society, despite passing a painful initiation rite. He ultimately chooses to leave the village, and later joins a Bushmen tribe. The wise Bushman Pao accepts him in his family and teaches him love and respect for all people, independent of colour. When the Swazi and Bushmen get on a war footing, Pao’s teachings help Isa put an end to the conflict, thereby beating his all-time enemy Mesei.
