Summary:Duration: 01:03:00 The film seeks to invert the classical approach of enthogrpahic films and to show how the native tribe sees the anthropologits that is observing it. The frustrations of the ethnologistsand the speculations revolving around him are the theme of the film. This is not a documentary about an exotic society, but about the exoticism of the anthropologist's gaze, and, perhaps, also about the art of exchanging gazes.
