The craft of making ghurbals (thong-meshed sieves used to "winnow" babies on their seventh day as well as to winnow grains for ceremonial dishes) is the focus of this insightful documentary. Viewers are guided through the entire process of ghurbal creation -- from logging the tree to creating the small frame, the weaving, and finally to the impact it makes on the village's traditions.
