About

This film presents a version of a myth, different from the Myth of Naro as Told by Dedeheiwä, in narrative detail and also in the individual raconteur's style.

The myth concerns the jealousy of Naro the Ugly toward his brother Yanomamo, who is fragrant and beautiful and has two wives. Desiring the women, Naro kills his brother by blowing magical charms, and is eventually killed himself by a third brother and a variety of ancestors. This is the origin of harmful magic.
