Abstract

German	German Die Novizen verlassen die Umzäunung. Nach einer Waschung am Flußufer werden sie von der Dorfbevölkerung zum Männerhaus begleitet, wo sie über ihre angezündeten Schlafunterlagen springen. Bevor sie auseinandergehen, erhalten sie letzte Belehrungen und Ermahnungen. Letzter Teil einer dreiteiligen Serie; vgl. Filme E 2812, E 2813.
English	English The period of seclusion being over, the initiates leave the enclosure of the men's house. After a thorough washing on the river bank the whole village conducts them back to the men's house. Last instructions and exhortations are given to them by the elder men. They are no longer children but adult men and as such reintegrated in the village-community.
