The film centres on the predominantly female celebration of the feast of Saint John. The women sing the songs associated with the Feast, describe their beliefs and how they organise the feast. Preliminary scenes establish the themes that underlie the Feast a mixture of the sacred and the profane, eroticism and death, celebration and mourning.
