In Soule, one of the French Basque country's three provinces, there is a unique carnival : it is called "La Mascarade". The actors ,that is to say the youth of the village, rehearse for several months, led by the ancients.
Then, from January to April, "La Mascarade" is performed in the neighbouring villages. It is a pretext for discovering a fragile community of 16,000 inhabitants deep-rooted in its tradition, its culture and its language.
