Various M/Ss and C/Us of women washing clothes in tubs and gossiping; they are wearing quite colourful clothes. M/S of the Calipher (sp? - head man) walking towards the women; as he reaches the group he speaks to some of them.



C/U of a woman walking past with a bucket on her head. C/U of two village girls with another woman in the background with a bucket balanced on her head. C/U of the Calipher smiling.



This footage looks quite contemporary. The narration concentrates mainly on the fact that life has been the same for nearly 5 centuries in this village, and elements of modernisation such as advertising and television have not taken away the individuality of the area; "no sleepless nights wondering which detergent will ensure that Abdul's burnous is fractionally cleaner and infinitesimally whiter that Ahmmed's".
