content: Edited film: a shaman dances while under the trance-like effect of juniper smoke. He is able to see spirits, and he imitates their dances. At times the shaman stops to listen to the musical instruments as the spirits speak to him through those instruments. The seance ends when the shaman swoons, falls, and awakens from the trance.
