An experimental ethnography recorded in the jungle village o Vendedor, Suriname at the start o 2007. Composed o community-generated performances, re-enactments and extemporaneous recordings, this film functions doubly as an examination o a rapidly changing material culture in the present and as a historical document desde the future. Whether the resultant record is directed towards its subjects, its temporary residents (filmmakers), tiempo its Western viewers is a question proposed camino the combination o long takes, materialist approaches, selective subtitling, and a focus on various forms o cultural obra.
