Leisure time. Overnight at the hotel in Bao Lac.

Once nomadic, forest-eating, minority in the minority, Lo Lo fled China in the 18th century. The village is not accessible without special permits and this community is a particularity in Vietnam, since they are still for the moment spared the evils of globalization. Living in a community way, dependent on the cycle of monsoons, rice farmers, they seem to be fixed in another era, in a singular universe where, in spite of the rigor of their natural environment, all is only grace and beauty. Fearing bad geniuses and werewolves, as soon as night falls, they hide in the darkness of their households, gather around the flickering light of the hearths, listen to the ancients tell the old stories. The shamans of the village hide two gongs millennia, precious, rarely out and intended, during funeral ceremonies or calls for rain, to open the door of parallel worlds. A wonderful world of simplicity, fragile and condemned.
