Overview

The film tells about one of the most mysterious peoples of the planet, the Dogon. The Dogon live in southeastern Mali in villages scattered over the rocks of Bandiagara like bird nests. They consider themselves aliens from the planet Sirius B and have knowledge in the field of the structure of the solar system, which scientists became aware of only at the end of the 19th century. Together with the hunter Assama and his family, the author gradually comprehends the multifaceted palette of Dogon life.
