In the Mayan world, ritual animal sacrifices have been taking place for centuries.

The principle is very simple: you make the respective stone god of the village cry by sacrificing, and it rains.Now it's drought time, and the sacrifices work like clockwork in every village. In every village? Not quite, because in one of the small villages two children decide to save the last sacrificial goat - and no goat means no rain, or does it? While the children hide the goat from the angry shaman, the villagers have to improvise and show their acting talent.
