The Mechanics of Film

Synopsis

One night, in a small bakery in a village in northern Spain, we accompany a baker who, through the contrast between the noise of heavy machinery and abrupt silences, works in solitude. His son, the author of the work, depicts the process: he projects his artistic and class concerns within the world of cinema by comparing the production of bread and the mechanisms of cinematographic creation.
