Harvest Moon Ritual (they call Seren Taun) like be shown in this film is proof that indigenous group chairman and his residents maintain balancing life between human and God, between human and nature, and between human and others.

To maintain balancing life between human and nature: they instill indigenous rules related to environmental preservation very strict. For example in farming, they would not open a new area if they didn’t get permission of indigenous group chairman. Therefore, it is difficult to find new land in this area.

They maintain and maximize the results of the existing land. Also they didn’t use chemicals to increase of agricultural output. In fact, the water system was completely dependent on rain and water from the mountain.

It could last for hundreds of years, because they are not greedy. They are very satisfied to live by relying on existing crops. They were living in a very simple pattern of society and away from the rules of modern society.

Key word of this story is harmony. They keep the harmony as main colour their life. This is goal point of this film: explanation about group of people who are doing something positive for the environment.
