Ishola marries Olatoundji with the hope of a happy life. But the absence of children awakens the hatred of her mother-in-law, a manipulative woman who cannot bear another woman occupying first place in her son’s life. Publicly humiliated, Ishola sees her husband decide to leave the family home to protect her. This is when her true ordeal begins. That same night, she sees an owl with a disturbing gaze, an owl that she seems to be the only one to see. Then, thinking she hits a simple pebble, the bokonon consulted confirms that it was a snake transformed into stone. Everything follows inexorably. Driven from everywhere, Olatoundji sells everything to survive and ends up accusing his wife of being the source of their misfortunes.
