The Sonepur fair in India, with its whirlwinds of dust rising from the ground, is the opportunity for a gigantic carnival. As in a western, men with gleaming black mustaches lead nervous horses, adorned for the demonstration, others drive wild motorcycles, while some organize outrageous parades.
A sensorial fete, this spellbinding documentary plunges us into the carnivalesque excess of Sonepur Mela, the largest cattle fair in Asia. Standing in stark contrast to the pastoral landscape, striking scenes of exotic dancing and motorcycle stunts imbue an otherworldliness to agricultural rituals.
