Summary

Documentary about the glass industry.

Documentary about the glass industry, with mostly shots of glaziers. The factory shown in the film manufactures e.g. lightbulbs, street lamps, bowls, and cups. Various facets of the production process are captured: melting, glass-blowing, heating, cooling, decorating, modelling, grinding, and glazing. Only when the workers leave the factory does it become apparent how many people actually work there.
