A short musical Makonde tale about Atate, a conservative and short tempered Makonde guard, who seeks a quiet, isolated and peaceful retirement life at beautiful and rocky Magilo mountains, far far away from the city he has spent most of his working life as a dedicated gate keeper. However, using Atate’s own short temper, a hidden colony of vengeful wild rats manage to ensure the new peaceful life Atate enjoys at Magilo, only lasts one harvesting season.
