A poetic depiction of life and ritual in the south Indian state of Kerala. We see how knowledge is passed down from generation to generation: within the family, through the village economy, and especially from teachers to students. Performance footage shows how song, dance, martial arts, and religion constitute the building blocks of a culture.
The Eye Above the Well was directed by Johan van der Keuken.
The Eye Above the Well runs for 1h 34min, and was released in 1988.
