A travel between Indonesia and Bali, discovering the mystical rituals of Toraja. It is possible to visit the burial sites and the tombs carved into the rock and be fascinated by the atmosphere that it is possible to breathe. If we are lucky, we could take part in the colorful funeral rites whose preparations may take several months.
