An older man tells an important story to his younger brother in order for him to learn a valuable life lesson.
A story within a story. In Australia's Northern Territory, a man tells one of the stories of his people and his land. It's the story of an older man, Minygululu, who has three wives and realises that his younger brother Dayindi may try to steal away the youngest wife. So, over a few days and several trips to hunt and gather, Minygululu tells Dayindi a story set in the time of their ancestors when a stranger came to the village and disrupted the lives of a serious man named Ridjimiraril, his three wives, and his younger brother Yeeralparil who had no wife and liked to visit his youngest sister-in-law. Through stories, can values be taught and balance achieved?
