OPENING TEASER SLOW FADE IN: 1: EXT/INT: ULTRAMODERN AFRICAN VILLAGE SQUARE. NIGHT.

We see an ornamented, crystal-like Leave, flying and slowly circling down like a jet, but with an echoing sound of a lip whistling. Camera zooms in closer.

We see OKWUCHUKWU, a four years old innocent little white girl, with golden eyes and wild flaming hair.

She relaxes comfortably inside the Jet-leave with a very small black Tin Drum under her armpit, while eating, drinking and listening to a Cricket like music accompanied by a sonorously wailing African flute and chant.

She looks around from time to time at her exquisitely furnished and heavily computerized Jet-Leave as it circles down through glistering skyscrapers of various shapes and sizes.

The shimmering skyscrapers are made of pyramids of either fire, rain, whirlwind, blood, native-chalk, synthetic cotton wool, ice or light but glamorously and fully adorned with synthesized African cowries, beads, caved images and feathers.

Equally flying to and fro are other objects with various shapes, sizes and designs, but either looks like a leave, groundnut shell, local melon shell, pestle, egg, coconut, sea shell or a short local broom, but all fully embroidered and beautified with gold, diamonds, and other precious African stones.

Okwuchukwu in her elated mood either smile or simply wave at the flying objects as she circles into an unconventional African village square, which is made up of some eccentric buildings as described above, but surrounds a small roundabout that has a sacred temple belonging to Ogun, the god of war. Close to the temple are some animals moving and playing around.

As Okwuchukwu’s Jet-Leave lands beside the temple, she dissolves out with her Tin Drum, like a whirlwind and stands besides it, smiling and looking at the dance movements going on inside the temple.

The temple is built of a caved metal, but glistering triangular, pyramid-like hut. It is a transparent red colored, metal temple. Six wild looking spirit warriors dressed in transparent red wool metal, suddenly appear in the temple doing a contemporary dance that expresses the vibrant, spiritual, war attitude of OGUN and accompanied by a very slow classical metallic sound and a praise chant.

Opening Teaser Continues

Suddenly, the floor of the red metal pyramid splits open and a vibrant giant, Ogun, rises with a wild heavy smoke. Ogun’s dressing is made of all kinds of strange weapons, but very shinny and red with a hair of delicate metallic dread locks

OKWUCHUKWU(EXULTANTLY)

Ogun laka aiye osi mo le!(Greetings, Ogun, god of war!)

The metallic music and chant echoes and rises to a crescendo as if replying the greeting and falls. As Okwuchukwu smiles, two strange very black figures with wild teeth, hunchback and palm oil red eyes suddenly appear and her smile disappears into a fright and a shock. The two creatures are dressed in an ornamented palm fronds with very dark but shinny skin and holding two dangerous canes made of flaming palm fronds. They suddenly seize her.

ESU’S ACOLYTES(WITH VENOM)

Acolytes of Esu, we are.At the master’s temple, you must report…

OKWUCHUKWU(STRUGGLING)

What…? Let’s go off me, you evil…!
