A dance of gathering nuts and tea leaves on the mountains of Black Sea. This has been filmed during a trip with the Ayakizleri hiking group to Macahel on August 2018. Macahel means five villages in Georgian, and it describes six mountain villages in the mountains of Artvin, five to resemble five fingers of a hand, one to resemble the arm. These are harsh mountains where survival depends on community effort and living together in harmony.
