The story of a tribe in the highlands of New Guinea and its ethnologist, St�phane Breton. This memorable film lays bare the complex and often awkward relationship between the camera-wielding anthropologist and his subjects. Over the years the Papua New Guineans� attitude toward Breton has slowly moved from general mistrust (the adults didn�t know what to make of him speaking like a child) to begrudging acceptance, but his role is still not defined. �According to what interests them they cast me as a tradesman, friend, stranger, relative, observer or cash dispenser,� says Breton, �My position is unclear. I�m a pain; someone who they never sent for, and who stubbornly sticks around for obscure reasons. I follow them everywhere. I�ll wear them down in the end.�
