Synopsis

By genre this film forms a transition between a portrait-like documentary and an educational film. It showcases the phases of felt production, from sheep trimming through wool processing to the various felt techniques. Its novelty and unconventional nature lies in elevating felt technique among contemporary artistic branches. Its goal is to raise public awareness on felt making - as one of the most ancient textile making techniques - and to make it more popular.
