Synopsis

In Balinese cosmology, Bedawang Nala, a giant turtle entwined with dragons of sea, wind, and earth, sustains the world's balance - his movement unleashing quakes and eruptions. Living in the "Ring of Fire," the Balinese honor nature's power through rituals and stories, guided by Earth-Mother's abundance. Women, as custodians of wisdom and tradition, embody resilience and guardianship, ensuring harmony between people and nature, carrying the mountain of balance across generations.
