It is the distant past, tribal times. Dayindi (played by Jamie Gulpilil) covets one of the wives of his older brother. To teach him the proper way, he is told a story from the mythical past, a story of wrong love, kidnapping, sorcery, bungling mayhem and revenge gone wrong. Narrated in English by the great David Gulpilil and subtitled in the Ganalbingu language, this is a film unlike any you have ever seen.
