As the men got drunk on masato
:53:03
The men said
"Why don't you drink with us?"

So the women drank some too
:53:09
They felt so good

were so drunk they couldn't

All through the upper Amazon,
Indians drink masato...

:53:52
an alcoholic beverage
made from a vegetable called yuca.

:53:55
It's an important food source,
making up a large part of the Indians'diet.

:53:59
It's also an essential part of almost
every activity, from morning till night.

In order to chew it...
:54:12
you first have to peel the yuca.
:54:13
Then you boil it.
:54:15
After boiling it...
:54:18
you put it in the cusho.
:54:20
This is the cusho?
- Yes, it is.

:54:24
Then you pound it until it's soft.
:54:26
After that, you chew it.
:54:28
- What's chancar?
- What we're doing here.

:54:32
After pounding it, you chew it.
:54:34
When it's soft like this...
:54:37
you add water.
:54:40
By the next day...
:54:42
it's fermented.
:54:44
You strain it with a sieve
and drink it.

:54:48
So you spit here.
:54:55
Quiet, please.

- Silencio.
- ¡Silencio.!
