As there are no longer any apprenticeships in wood turning in Switzerland, Marcellin Babey learned his craft from the former owner of his Lausanne workshop, and by going, on foot, to visit old turners in France and Spain. In the film he builds and plays on bagpipes.

Press review
Precise shots and excellent lighting allow us to follow the making of the bagpipes through its most interesting stages.
