The film immerses us in Kanak culture and its traditional rain ceremony. During this event, people prepare masks, costumes, songs, dances, and speeches to honor their traditions.
In Kanak culture, the earth is revered as a source of life, often referred to as "mother-earth" or "mother-nature." The Kanak people believe they belong to the land and hold it in great respect. The land does not belong to the people; instead, the people belong to the land. In Kanak cultural and food practices, yam holds central importance. This tuber deeply influences the community's traditions throughout the year, playing a key role in ceremonies, trades, weddings, and other significant events. Water is essential for growing yams, along with fertile soil, which is also associated with women's fertility and various rain rituals.
