Man in glasses drinks from stone well among villagers.

Water drawn from stone becomes a kind of ceremony here, hands cupped and lifted as if the act of drinking might consecrate something between the powerful and the poor. The hills roll soft and indifferent behind them, terraced by generations of labor that no visit can fully see. In the final frame, a hand on a shoulder reads like punctuation at the end of a performance.
