[The New Yorker] A short film describing the grasshopper catching procedure in Uganda through the experience of a young hunter. He uses a poetic approach, underlined by the excellent cinematography by Xavi Amorós, who describes the mixture of tradition and a certain spirituality that surrounds this way of catching insects, using lights in the middle of the dark. There is an ethereal undertone to the use of music and slow-motion images, while depicting a tradition that has become a livelihood.
