What a wonderful story!
We follow Elatsoe, a young woman who is a magical detective and can summon ghosts. She has been visited by her cousin's ghost in a dream and must now embark on a journey with friends and family to unearth what happened to him. It's a beautiful mixture of culture, history, and generational inheritance that comes together to tell a story that left me full of nostalgia for my grandma and also gave me hope for the future.
Highly recommend!
