Film depicts male sociability at a Jie cattle camp as men gather under a special tree to converse, relax, sleep, or work on leather goods. The particular focus of conversation in this film centers on the European's most conspicuous possession--the motor vehicle--and the relative worth of cars and men. Includes sound recordings.
