, 1/320 f/7.1, ISO 500, hand held.

Padre e figlia accarezzano il sudario che contiene il corpo del caro defunto (probabilmente la moglie e madre). L'uomo si scioglie in un pianto dirotto. La bimba ha un atteggiamento composto come a cercar di dar coraggio al padre, come se fosse lei a prendersi cura di lui. (Famadihana, Madagascar - distretto di Ambositra).

Thanks Marco and Thank Copper.

@Rame - Before the actual ceremony the family or families riesumeranno deceased loved ones from their graves on the mountain top, organize a big party which participates in "all" the village (it's very small and isolated villages .. about a hundred people).

During the party the alcohol, in the form of a very strong rum homemade (I had the honor to taste .. a real flashli guts), does not fail.

Alcohol and 'also one of the gifts that are worn over the graves. A few drops are poured on the shrouds. For this man has that bottle in hand.

This is poignant :-(
The pain of loss is so damn similar throughout the world .... only that we should remember that we are really all the same ...
But the human being is so stupid ...

Thanks passages .. What more 'shots I' of this scene and 'the strength of the child which in most' shots seemed to console the father.

But it is a very special ceremony: a mix of grief and celebration. Why 'before and after the dead are honored with songs and dances.
