The Gods Must Be Crazy II

Xi and his San tribe thrive peacefully in the Kalahari Desert, isolated from the chaos of industrial civilization. They enjoy a simple existence, connected to nature and each other without outside influences.

A glass Coca-Cola bottle falls from an airplane and lands in Xi's territory, initially seen as a divine gift by his people. The tribe begins to use the bottle for various purposes, leading to unexpected tensions among them.

As the glass bottle becomes a point of contention within the San tribe, jealousy and disputes emerge among the members. Xi recognizes the growing discord and feels the urgent need to address the problem by disposing of the object.

In search of a solution, Xi embarks on a pilgrimage to the edge of the world to dispose of the bottle, hoping to restore peace among his people. This marks the beginning of his journey that will lead him to meet new individuals and face unexpected challenges.

During his travels, Xi meets biologist Andrew Steyn, who is studying local wildlife. This meeting introduces a new dynamic where two very different worlds begin to intersect in unexpected ways.

M'pudi, Steyn's assistant, who has ties to the San community, becomes part of Xi's journey as he helps communicate and bridge the cultural gap. His presence aids in navigating the complexities of Xi's world and their goals.

Kate Thompson, a former journalist turned school teacher, is introduced while on her way to the village. She is determined to make a difference in the community, yet her journey also becomes entwined with Xi, Steyn, and M'pudi's expedition.

In the state of Biryani, a confrontation occurs as guerrillas attempt a violent coup against the government. Their actions create a backdrop of chaos, complicating the situations faced by Xi, Steyn, and Thompson.

In a twist of fate, Xi mistakenly shoots a goat, thinking it a wild animal, leading to his arrest by a goatherd. The legal consequences lead to a surprising alliance where Steyn and M'pudi help Xi as a tracker to replace his prison time.

While tensions rise, the guerrillas invade Thompson's school, capturing her and the students as hostages. This dire situation pushes Xi, Steyn, and M'pudi into action to rescue them, intertwining their fates further.

With the children and Thompson held captive, Xi, Steyn, and M'pudi devise a plan to neutralize the guerrillas. Utilizing makeshift tranquilizer darts, they work together strategically to take back control and save the hostages.

Through the bravery and ingenuity of Xi and his companions, they manage to subdue several guerrillas, allowing Thompson and the children to reclaim their safety. However, miscredit for the successful rescue goes to a rival tour guide.

With Xi having fulfilled his term, Steyn compensates him, but Xi's unfamiliarity with money leads him to discard it. The incident symbolizes a disconnect yet beauty in their relationship with material goods versus their traditional values.

Steyn makes an awkward visit to Thompson, attempting to express his feelings for her amidst his embarrassing antics. Although initially troublesome, his sincerity wins her over as she finds his clumsiness endearing.

Eventually, Xi reaches a cliff where the clouds obscure the landscape below. Believing he has reached the edge of the world, he discards the glass bottle, signaling an end to his journey and a return to his roots.
