The island of Java, is the most populated and agrarian part of the many islands of Indonesia. The majority of people living on Java, before independence worked in agriculture, and lived in villages across this island.
The lifestyle seen in this film seems timeless, with fertile fields rich in volcanic soil providing an abundant harvest, and the steady winds of change, drifting just slightly into the centuries old farming customs of these villages Some of the footage in the film, is as familiar today as it was all those years ago.
