The Chechen Family

Abubakar is an active participant in the Zikr, the ritual dance performed by Chechen Sufi Muslims. At each Zikr, he reaches a state of ecstasy that is an exorcism from his daily troubles. A detachment from everything that his people have suffered over the years of occupation. A visionary plunge into the traditions of Chechen culture. A film-experience that feels like a tranceinduced hypnosis.
