Shot in a traditional blacksmith shop, where the blacksmith uses coal for his fire, we hear as much as we see how this art is executed. There are bumps and grating sounds, sounds of a very hot fire, hammer sounds…and the vivid reds, yellows, blues and white of a very hot fire, along with the earth colors of most of the tools and machines. Finally, from time to time, we hear the blacksmith himself explain the essentials of the process and near the end, we even catch a brief glimpse of his face.
