In Nyae Nyae, water often remains in open pans. Sometimes if the rains have been heavy, water stays in these pans, like small lakes, all year. In this film five Ju/'hoan men visit Nama pan. /Ti!kay washes the clothes he acquired on his trip to rescue his band's wives from a farm (as shown in An Argument About a Marriage). The other men bathe. The men use the opportunity to exchange sexual jokes with pleasure and hilarity. This film provides an interesting comparison with A Group of Women.
This film is available as part of the !Kung Short Films 2-disc set. This collection combines fourteen of Marshall's short !Kung filmsonto two remastered/re-authored DVDs, complete with a full-color bookletcontaining photos, writings, and additional information about the series.
