Papua New Guinea is a land filled with primordial life force, which was unknown to the rest of the world until the early 19th century. Still, vast amounts of its territory remains untouched by modern civilization. We observe its people digging into ash from a volcano that could erupt again anytime. We meet innocent children learning mathematics and music in a school built on land covered volcanic ash. We hear stories from its people, who keep hope alive despite the harshness of nature and unfortunate history. Its 900 tribes, each with its own language live in jungle swamps more dangerous than the Amazon, below a fuming live volcano, keeping their traditional culture and pristine nature alive.
