Stories from the Village is telling stories and tales late at night between the light of burning candles, during hands in a friendly game of cards. It is stories from the past and the present. It is pictures, coming and going: The play under an orange tree, the storyteller singing about human despair, the lonesome trumpet playing from the battlefield, and the story about a sacred village by the river of Ganges. Each story has its own universe and as a listener you are trapped in a rare world of curiosity right down to the last note.
