Letter to the Death
- Synopsis
- About the encounter between tradition and modernity in a small village of Papua New Guinea. Three exceptional men rival with each other in the field of rituals and artistic creation in order to win over their neighbours. They send a last letter to their dead who have abandoned them and who may have emigrated to a rich country from which the film-makers come.
