In places where time seems to have stood still, the cameras are present for rituals and ceremonies still stamped with Ethiopia’s links to far older civilizations than that of the Christianity it has embraced, to the Jerusalem of King Solomon and the Egypt of the Pharaohs. The journey begins in the medieval settlement of Lalibela at the time of Timkat, the greatest festival of the year which begins with dramatic and colorful processions.

Lalibela is a place surrounded by myths. It is the site of eleven rock-hewn churches, built in the late twelfth or early thirteenth century, often ranked among the wonders of the world. Here the liturgies are celebrated in the same ceremonies that were performed thousands of years ago. At the end of the celebrations, a daptara, one of the learned shamans of the priest caste, sets off to visit other holy places and to give healing and comfort to those in need. He is accompanied by an azmari, a member of an unusual fraternity of musicians reminiscent of medieval wandering minstrels, whose music will support him on his mission. In the first part of their journey, they also take along several other musicians.

The first stop is a village where a young, childless couple seeks help. Rituals, including an exorcism, the sacrifice of a sheep, and the recitation of magic poems, are carried out. 下一个, they ease the passing of an old warrior, close to death. The musicians sing and dance, reminding him, and God, of his valiant deeds. The daptara and the annari then continue alone and are followed through spectacular landscapes to historic sites, including Gondar and Axum, as their work and the intricate coded interplay of their relationship is observed.
