content: Edited film: a woman from the atoll Tabiteuea cuts fresh pandanus leaves from a palm tree, prepares them, and uses them to plait one of five widths needed to form a sleeping mat. The weaving is done in such a way that the pattern on the top is different from that shown on the underside of the mat.
