Voice-Over
In the tropical rainforest Papuans create a large, traditional sculpture to commemorate a recently deceased family member, Omomá. The latter’s friend, the filmmaker, watches the ritual closely. At the same time, elsewhere, he becomes embroiled in a business conflict. A painful confrontation between two worlds with ‘the sculpture’ as the transgressive symbol of life on the one hand, and big money on the other.
