| ◄With a little bit of magic, a young boy is granted his wish and becomes a ◄great professional soccer player in this fairy tale from French Guinea. ◄Bandian, who lives in a poor village, seems to have a knack for playing ◄soccer. The village witch doctor helps him by rubbing magical herbs upon ◄his legs. His math teacher tells him that he will have to haul wood after ◄school for 320,000 days before he will be able to afford a real leather ◄soccer ball. He is given one by a European doctor. After that, the boy's ◄success is assured. The story is enhanced by local African music. |
