ABOUT

A series of ten short films about traditional wood tradesmen of Switzerland. These films take a close look into the life and craft of a group of men who make their living from working with wood, including a cooper, a luthier, a toy-maker, a carpenter and sculptor, a pair of shingle-makers, a turner, and others.

"Hats off to Jacqueline Veuve for making a major contribution to Swiss cinema at the end of the eighties. In this fresco comprising seven portraits, the images are profound. What common ground is there between the gestures, the words and the hearts of these men? The answer is: a metaphysical relationship between wood and a way of life." -- Bertil Galland, 24 heures
