Description An Islamic Pilgrimage, a philosophical love story, told through songs and poetic dialogue in a style based on the ancient epic narratives of Sumatra. An orphan mystic leads her village adherents into the seas beneath a swarm of heavenly butterflies in search of self-redemption. Do they drown or not? The ambiguous witness - an urchin street clown and his Brahmin bull, who follow for love not salvation.
