:26:09
Here, where drinking
beer is unknown,
:26:12
they resort
to the use of tapioca,
:26:14
a starch that has more or less
the same fattening qualities
:26:17
as potatoes.
:26:26
We are at Tabar,
the largest island
:26:28
of the Bismarck Archipelago,
:26:30
where, by tradition, the most
beautiful women of the tribe
:26:33
are locked up in strong cages
:26:35
similar to those we've seen
in Strasbourg to fatten geese
:26:39
and they get filled
with tapioca
:26:41
until they reach
at least 1 20 kilos.
:26:44
Then, they will be
offered as wives
:26:46
to the village's dictator,
Utame Alunda,
:26:49
famous all over the islands
for his physical power
:26:51
and his odd personality.
:26:57
The fattening process
goes from 3 to 6 months,
:27:01
meanwhile, Utame Alunda
didn't remain idle.
:27:03
These are some of his most
recent children,
:27:07
that he loves to show to
the foreigners in this dance,
:27:09
as a proof of his virility.
:27:24
This is his last spouse:
:27:26
eight children and
one hundred thirty kilos.
:27:29
This is his favorite wife.
:27:31
Ten children and 150 kilos.
:27:34
And this is
the great chief Alunda:
:27:37
27 children and 34 kilos.
:27:52
The American woman, instead, if
she wants to be a lucky lover,
:27:55
needs to lose weight.
:27:57
We are in Los Angeles, in one
of the many Vic Tanny gyms,
