Deep in the central highlands of Madagascar, the Zafimaniry people maintain a centuries-old tradition of intricate woodcrafting that defines their community and their way of life. As the forest that provides their raw materials slowly disappears, the Zafimaniry must navigate the challenges of a changing world while passing down their ancestral skills to the next generation. Through the eyes of a young apprentice and his mentors, the film explores the delicate balance between preserving cultural heritage and adapting to the realities of modern life, all while the Zafimaniry continue to build their homes and their future with the same dedication and artistry that has sustained them for generations.
