Wundervoll eingefangene Kurzdokumentation von Thomas Roebers und Floris Leeuwenberg über die Menschen in Baro (Guinea), für die das gesamte Leben einen eigenen Rhythmus hat. Das Malinke-Wort "Foli" steht dabei für viel mehr als nur Rhythmus - man trifft darauf in jedem Lebensbereich.

Dedicated to the people of baro.

Life has a rhythm, it's constantly moving.
The word for rhythm ( used by the Malinke tribes ) is FOLI.
It is a word that encompasses so much more than drumming, dancing or sound.
It's found in every part of daily life.
In this film you not only hear and feel rhythm but you see it. It's an extraordinary blend of image and sound that feeds the senses and reminds us all how essential it is.
