The dance of the body embraces the dance of the machine…

The film starts as a didactic documentary on the technique of wool processing, from sheep shearing and the unravelling of the collected wool to the threshing, carding and spinning operations that follow. After the inaugural sequence, the pure documentary turns into an aesthetic vision that transfigures manufacturing devices through a series of visual effects and a change in register.
