    Yemanja ( in portuguese iemanja) is and divine entity from candomblé and umbanda (african religions brought by the slaves in Brazil), she is know as queen of the oceans.
    In the new year's eve, people here go to the beaches to jump seven waves and to make their offerings for her, it's quite common in fact.
    They make small boats full of food, bevereges and then throw in the ocean so the waves could carry their offerings to Iemanja.
    She serch in portuguese for images of her, and you will see that brazilians have a very different image of her...
    I hope this help you folks to compreend better this piece.

      Look, i'm catholic, i oppose most of this non-sense, but i don't have a problem with their belifs, my problem is with their dogmas and traditions.
      This stupid traditions that umbanda and candoblé has, are problematic, but always when someone touch on the issue, they came with bs catholics.
      Brazil has a weird situation with religions, because we have several, but the two major groups, are christians, and then theres the native ones that are really small and confined, and the other like candonblé, umbanda and kardecism, kardescism is of no consequece, in fact many christians frequent their sessions, and they do a lot of charity too.
      But candonblé and umbanda has always being problematic.
      The evangelics lovo to hate anyone, but everyone loves to hate catholics, so when people push against bs, they always threat the catholics and in result catholics go apologetic by default.

    Engrossing. It was a unique story and I watched it twice. I had to work to figure out the story line and I ignored plot issues around the death of the caller and the logic of sinking the raft and just enjoyed the tale. It would be easy to analyze this short film to death in a negative fashion but that would destroy the “tale told around a fire by an elder” feel.

    Looks like many viewers here are young and don't realize that lots of short films like this (6 minutes!!) are made as demonstration exercises, to show what the artists/production team can do, looking for connection to people with money for full film. As such, they are not trying to tell a complex story with beginning, middle, character development, and ending, in 6 minutes.

      @peter There is a legend about sea goddess by the name of Yamana (sometimes referred to as Yoruba). Her children were like fish, and as if she had children of the human species. Once the gods caused a great flood to destroy too much bred insects. But the human children of the Yoruba survived the deluge and became the first man and woman on the African continent. I think it is told here as if Yama na-Yoruba were a living woman from some ancient tribe that roamed the sea on floating Islands. Somehow she stayed with her son and daughter-in-law, perhaps the rest of the tribe were out at sea hunting. Yamana managed to call on aid totem animals and they raised island, rescuing thereby past people, but itself she not survived. And here is through millennia in memory descendants woman has turned into a goddess, animals in its children, and from it went kind of Africans. The legend was brought to Brazil by slaves imported from Africa and so it has come down to our days.

    Like a lot of folks, I didn't get this either.
    To me it looked like it opened with a huge flock of birds flying away from something, which cued the women to blow on the horn to summon the manta rays, which then pulled the raft down. One of the women fell and presumably died, then the remaining man and woman hid out in one of the tents, maybe on top so they could stay above the water.
    So basically, this made no sense to me.

    The basic idea is good. Not expanded on enough. Film should have 10mins long. That would have given time to show more of the islands and the creatures that helped them. Also a bit more detail in the "black" bird / bats. The swarm was too dense to see a single creature. So that we can identify them as a threat, no just a lot of black birds. Have you ever seen a large flock of Starlings in the evening
