You could say that the movie has 3 different plots who all merge togheter in the end. The movie begins by showing a tribe of bushmen who lives in the Sahara dessert. After that it switches over to scenes of stressed people living in the crowded and fast paced city. The narrator describes the life of people living in the city aswell as the lives of the bushmen. When you see the city you get to listen to a woman who decides to quit her job and to get work as an english teacher. Her name is Kate Thompson and she is tired of her job as a newspaper editor. When the movie starts she is living in Johannesburg but later she has to move out to a small village where her new job takes place. To get there she has to go with this man called Andrew Steyn who appears a bit strange to her but in the end she reaches the village like she was supposed to do.

The second plot we see is about a bushman called Xi. He and his tribe are happily living in the desert when suddenly something falls out of the sky. One of the tribe-members picks it up and brings it to the rest of the tribe. The weird object was a regular coke bottle which someone threw out of a plane. No one in the tribe has never seen anything like it before and it is harder than any materials they know of.

At first the bottle seems to bring joy and happiness and they discover that it serves as a tool for all kinds of things. Soon they are all in need of the bottle and a fight breaks out between two children. Xi then realises that the bottle is something evil that the gods has sent them and he decides to throw it off the end of the world. He says goodbye to his tribe and begins the journey to get rid of the evil bottle.

The third and last plot is about a grou...

They dress Xi like one of the hostages, then they arm him with a tiny bow and a needle attached to a string. Before they shoot the needle, they dip it in some tranquilizer. As soon as the needle hits one of the guards, Xi has to immediatly pull it out with the string. The guard will only think he got stung by a mosquito and soon after he will fall asleep. When the guards are asleep, the children then proceeds to disarm them one by one.

My personal rating for this movie would be an 3/5. The reasons for this is because it is an interesting and unique concept with an very interesting and funny way to edit the scenes. It had some predictable jokes though but most of them were totally unexpected. It also had a cheesy ending which is why i am not going to give it a full 5/5.
