Plot.

In the highlands of Northern Columbia the Ika live a strenuous and isolated life, economically dependent on small gardens and a handful of domestic animals. They are thought to be descendants of the Maya who fled from the turmoil of Central American High Civilization’s warring states to the remote valleys of Colombia’s Sierra Nevadas. The Ika still inhabit a spectacular but demanding terrain extending between five and fifteen thousand feet, an almost vertical geography through which they move with prodigious ease.

Wiki.

Ika Hands is a 1988 film by ethnographic filmmaker Robert Gardner.

This film was shot in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta of Northern Colombia. The people in it may be the only survivors of the Tairona. At an informational level, the film shows the rounds of daily life while it attempts to disclose the interior life of a leading figure in the community portrayed. It does so by using a camera in a way that Robert Gardner says, in his brief introduction, no camera has yet been designed to do. What is seen is a man who is part mystic, part priest, and part ordinary householder, performing rituals and offering prayers in lonely and seemingly painful meditation, often accompanied by his own chanting and singing. There is an attempt with this film to find a new form for dealing with not only information, but feelings and mood.
