Synopsis
There is what I see, what is shown to me, what I do not see, what I cannot see.
I am invited to film a ritual. The one that can be shown to the dried heads, to outsiders like me. A child of the tribe is watching Disney's Fantasia on TV. We interrupt him. What fills the child when he dances? What can I see of what I am being shown?
Filmed among the Xukurú Karirí tribe - State of Alagoas - Brazil.
