On-line med forfædrene

103 min.DK/Documentary

Do you believe in God or ancestral spirits? Would you agree to pay a bridal price - in the form of cellular phones or money? Would you follow your heart or do what your family expects of you? Are you the maker of your own fortune or your relations to other people? These are some of the many questions that occupy the two young lead characters, Jimmy and Busi. They have been sent on a tour of Zimbabwe by Savannah Arts to research and gain inspiration for the group's next performance. Along the way they meet chiefs, traditional healers, gays, a spiritual medium and a dream interpreter. They visit Busi's grandfather in the rural areas and take part in a ceremony for the dead.
