At dusk, the spirit world grows bolder. The darkness of the Dakar market where the solitary, slender figure of Pa Kong-Kong dwells, is considered no place for children to venture. But after she draws the white marble signalling her as their new head, Binta must prove to her peers that girls have the bravery to lead. The shadows stir with ominous sounds. She steps forward determined to reveal a local secret and discovers a new inner confidence.

The daughter's tumor had spread; a craniotomy is a must. Yunpeng Zheng, the speech-impaired father, learned from the doctor that the surgery might cause vision loss, which was devastating enough for him to withhold the truth from his daughter. After a tormenting night, old Zheng decided to take his daughter up the mountain to watch the sunrise. The two did not see it in the end, but the daughter's words relieved Zheng's burden. The sun still rises in their hearts.
