Director: Sander Francken

Driven by his curiosity of other cultures and the mysteries of human nature, Sander Francken delivers a captivating trilogy of folk tales. Each story is based on a folk song from a non-Western culture and shows that it is the old wisdom which unites people. 

A true feast for the eyes and ears, this rare film is a three-part harmony of third-world stories. Each is sung by a local while others act out the tale. The stories are rooted in Hindu culture in Rajasthan, Muslim culture in Mali, and the Buddhist culture in Ladakh.
