In The Wasp Nest, a group of women and children gather sweet, fresh /ole berries and sha roots. The younger women, led by N!ai, bait a nest of wasps. As the day wears on, Debe, N!ai's youngest son, grows restless. Di!ai asks N!ai to take Debe home, but she refuses, and walks off to join the younger women. The film explores the interactions between these women as they engage in their everyday pursuit of food. It is a companion film to Debe's Tantrum.
This film is available as part of the !Kung Short Films 2-disc set. Fourteen of Marshall's short !Kung films are contained on two remastered/re-authored DVDs, complete with a full-color booklet containing photos, writings, and additional information about the series.
