Presents Malabar's age - old dance drama, the gorgeous spectacle of Kathakali. Explains the meaning of the Kathakali gesture language. Enacts in traditional Kathakali style three famous episodes from the Indian epic 'THE MAHABHARATA.'. Focuses of the life of Peter Boru, a sixteen-year-old former herdsboy who has become a boarding school student. The question, "Education for what?" is posed when both tradition and forces of change common to the developing areas make the economic outlook bleak for such young people even if they are able to complete the local education requirements. From the Faces ofe series.
