A tiny voice is heard from inside the womb of a pregnant woman : "Mother, give birth to me .!"

"A child who can speak from his mother's womb can give birth to himself", replies the mother. And so a little boy is born, cuts his own umbilical cord and declares : "My name is Kirikou."

The tiny Kirikou is born into an African village upon which a sorceress called Karaba has cast a terrible spell: the spring has dried up, the villagers are being blackmailed, the men of the village have either been kidnapped or have mysteriously disappeared. But no sooner has Kirikou delivered himself from his mother's womb than he wants to rid the village of Karaba's curse and understand the cause of her wickedness. His adventure-filled voyage leads Kirikou to the Forbidden Mountain, where the Wise Man of the Mountain, who knows of Karaba and her secrets, awaits him.
