On a stony leasehold in the south of Italy, a father is showing his son how to build dry-stone walls to mark off the fields and clear the stones from the land so that it can be farmed. Watching his father’s precise and seemingly effortless gestures, the son realizes that exercising a craft with anything less than total devotion will mean that it will be void of „vitality or life and so – devoid of beauty.“
