content: Edited film: a woman in the village of Tetua lets fresh palm juice boil in four coconut shell containers on hot rocks in an earth oven pit. The thickening liquid is constantly poured together so that after many hours of cooking, only one container of syrup (kamaimai) remains. Another coconut flask is filled with the syrup.
