The film captures the tension between sacred and pagan practices, especially with its focus on the rattle ceremony. The pacing feels reflective, almost meditative, which gives you space to absorb the cultural nuances. The use of animation juxtaposed with real-life interviews creates this dreamy yet grounded atmosphere.
