MBULAND
No one is safe when Masta—a ruthless female queen mosquito and her general Penni, relish spreading malaria and sucking human blood, in disorganized village. But there is a glimpse of hope, through a superhuman 10-year-old boy, who can communicate with animals and mosquitoes. Heri takes the fights to the swamps and ponds, but he finds out that, it will take more than, his supernatural power to outsmart Masta’s devious plans and eliminate malaria.
