Imagine a world in which your beliefs and values, the music you listen to, the clothes you wear and even the language you speak are threatened with destructionby technology, development and the encroachment of cultures more materially powerful than your own. Cultural survival lies at the heart of this bold and challenging film, in which a balyan (priestess) performs a non-indigenous ritual to save her grandchild, setting off a chain of consequences that impact everyone around her.
