Synopsis: There’s a community of people who know the exact day they will die from the moment they’re born. Azkadiak is the name of a festive day on which a member of the community is accompanied in their rite of passage. Each member who leaves the community to move on to another life decides which totem they will leave behind to be remembered by.
Rituals and folklore aren’t just stories. If our ancestral narratives had taken other paths, our entire
relationship with life would be different.
