content: Edited film: a bonfire is prepared on a hillside outside the village on the first Sunday in Lent; the young men ceremoniously walk around the woodpile three times before setting fire to it. Wooden discs are placed in the fire until they glow; then they are thrown downhill towards the village, along with a wheel stuffed with straw that has been lit. An evening processional draws the celebration to a close.
