The driver, respectfully called "Engineer" by the villagers, is in this remote location to record a funeral ritual that will follow the death of a woman reputed to be more than 100 years old. As he waits and she rallies, he becomes a figure of some amusement in the valley--whenever his cell phone beeps, he charges to higher ground in his Land Rover in order to get proper reception. And as he waits to complete his task, he is transformed from a nosy outsider into a reverent observer, seeing all the transient beauty and eternal wonder of the human experience in one poor, small, rural village.

Add a CommentA beautiful and enjoyable film - I'll definitely need to view it again to feel I'm beginning to understand it. Love the scenes of getting a call on the cell phone, appreciate the insight into discreet and indirect communication between 2 people - asking without asking and answering without actually answering.
