Yakel 3D explores the fragility of one of the last very original culture, using the hi-tech cinematic device of 3D. Set in a remote Vanuatu tribal village and shot over a three year period, this is the remarkable story of 108-year-old Chief Kowia near the end of his long, eventful life. Survivor of tribal wars, colonization, epidemics and WWII he's rejected the modern world in favor of a life free of electricity, material goods or money. They are happy as the jungle provides them with all life's necessities. But Chief Kowia worries: What will happen to his people when he is no longer there to guide? Can his culture stay alive? Or will his people be tempted by greater riches and leave their tribal life behind?

Kolmemõõtmeline dokfilm Vanuatu saarelt, filmitud kolme aastaringi jooksul tänapäeva kõige moodsama filmitehnikaga, ruumilise kaameraga. 108-aastane suguharu pealik Kowia on mures, kas ka pärast tema lahkumist jagub kogukonnal tahet elada ilma elektri, raha ning moodsate esemeteta? Või on kiusatus muuta elustiili ikkagi otsustav?
