This film offers a journey into the intimacy of the Fèvre Taillandier Coutelier which reveals all the stages of the production of a knife from the gathering of the ore necessary for the development of the steel, to the table where it is used to cut bread. Manufacturing of steel by artisanal metallurgy, traditional forging, power of quenching, precision of finishes and revelation of polishing, all the secret details of the mysterious work of the blacksmith cutler unfold thanks to superb images where earth, fire, air, and water are combined, combining technicality and emotions. Beyond the aspects, as professional as they are magical, of the profession, a response to the need for transmission and teaching of these professions is presented. Considering that the reopening of the forges, whose presence in our societies, which has always been essential both on a technical and sacred level, is perhaps even more so today to offer a response to the quest for meaning of the younger generations, the floor is given to young professionals recently established who challenge our representations of life. A film by Freddy Mouchard. With Mayn Séry and Christian Moretti, and the CFMTT/Metallica represented by the Féron 2023 promotion supervised by Xavier Rodrigo and the Fèvre Taillandier Coutelier promotion supervised by Didier Papot.
