On Zenith’s Edge
Natyvel comes from a people in Gabon - the Fangs - where the dead never leave the living. But since becoming Christians, they can no longer hear them. Lost between what she knows and what she sees, the director leads a spiritual quest that reveals the history of a traditional religion that has not been passed on.
