content: Edited film: girls from the atoll Nonuti divide into two teams to play this game with a cubical "ball" made of plaited palm leaves. Members of the teams take individual turns kicking the ball in the air, over and over, until the ball finally falls to the ground. The team with the highest number of kicks is the winner.
