This film aims to invert the classical approach of ethnographic films and to show how the native tribe sees the person looking at it. The frustrations of the ethnologist and the speculations revolving around him are the theme of the film. This is not a documentary on an exotic or very exotic society but on the exoticism of the one who observes and on the art, perhaps, of exchanging looks.
