Today ethnic minorities exist whose daily lives continue to bear witness to contemporary myths: these legends are their faith, and the animals, their gods. From the Indonesian horsemen of Sumba Island to the wild elephant tamers of the Vietnamese forest, this collection reveals the most wondrous of beliefs which unite man and animal in the spectacular, thousand-year old fulfillment of a magical destiny. The Toraja would not exist without the buffalo. When the world began, our ancestor came down to earth with a buffalo that walked behind him. It was a long and dangerous journey that brought them here. Ever since, we feel that the dead need a guide to help them find the land of happy souls and only the buffalo know the way.
written and directed by Jean Michel Corillion ; produced by Manuel Catteau and ZED.
