- Monsieur Benoit is an old-fashioned cobbler. In his workshop in the suburbs of Paris, the locals come and go, talking about their lives. While lending an ear to these delightfully humdrum conversations, the craftsman goes on hammering, scraping, gluing, cutting and sewing, smoothing and polishing.

A "local shop", we would say nowadays. The film takes a magnifying glass to this microcosm, gradually laying it bare. The noises of machines, voices. Feet, hands. Gestures, materials. Only then, faces. A bit of worn leather, viewed in close-up, turns into an apron. A portrait of a trade - and a world - that is fast disappearing.
