Carnevale di Ottana - Boes e Merdules

In this remote Barbagia village, farmers in sheepskins wearing hand-carved wild-pear wooden masks play out the ancient struggle between man and beast: the bell-laden Boes (oxen) rebel against the Merdules (their keepers), while Sa Filonzana, the only female carnival figure in Sardinia, threatens to snip the thread of life.
