Kundu
Synopsis
In a remote New Guinea valley, a small group of white expatriates have sought refuge from Europe, driven by their insatiable desires for power and the freedom to indulge their dark passions. Meanwhile, the valley's indigenous people are bound by ancient traditions, their lives dictated by the rhythmic thrum of Kundu drums that incite frenzied sorcery. This volatile mix inevitably erupts into terrible violence, echoing through the mountains like a primal force unleashed.
