content: Edited film: an edited recounting of a five-day ritual in which the young initiate spends most of the time in an isolation hut. Shows the ceremonies that take place on the fifth day when she emerges and the villagers perform the fertility dance. The next day she is led around the village to receive presents, to meet people, and to bring good luck to their homes.
