They are known as the Taw Batu. They simply call themselves the ”rock people”. Every year, they journey back in time and well in the shadow of their ancestors. This is the story of one Taw Batu family returning to a former life to dwell once again in their birthplace. They are members of one of the last remaining troglodyte societies on earth.
