(Vaudou)

Content: It was from Dahomey (now Benin, Africa) that the cult of the deads was exported - through the slave trade - to Brazil, and Haiti. The film narrates the modern story of this ethnographical, religious culture. A team of initiates could film troubling images documenting initiation ceremonies and the sacred lethargy that can take as much as seven, or even eleven days, and in which the body started decomposing itself. Then, the resuscitation happens.
