Shape of the Moon

Full Frame Grand Jury Award 2005

NEW DOCS

This intimate epic chronicles the drama of daily existence for three generations of a Christian family in Indonesia. Astonishing and memorable scenes convey the people and land of this unfamiliar yet recognizable world: a solitary figure walking along railroad tracks high above the ground, the rebellious son converting to Islam in order to be able to marry a Muslim woman, and his mother looking for work in the fields.  DLP
