Description of the content
This film presents current forms of belief in spirits and souls using academic evidence. There isn’t any interpretation, or a final verdict. But there is an experiment presenting the impact of urban elite and mass culture on the traditional rural belief system. The real drama of the film is conveyed in the camera’s portrayal of a gathering focused on whether or not a table will move or remain stationary, and their accepting the outcome.
