A father is peeling an orange, a daughter and mother are sleeping in a hammock, and a big river is flowing by: these are a few snippets that immerse us into the life of this Bribri family and their surroundings. The meditative soundscape, close-ups and subdued colours invite us to wonder and wander. As a part of many-month-long ethnographic research in Talamanca, the film encapsulates the ways of an indigenous community and its values and how a strong connection to nature means its unquestionable conservation. Does one truly need to be reminded that often?
This short piece is a thought-provoking and cautionary tale of a way of life that could soon be lost.
