Frédéric Laffont and Isabelle Dupuy Chavanat take us on a journey to the heart of the Hermès ateliers. Men and women work diligently with the materials, using their knowledge, patience and passion to create a unique object that transcends time. They combine gestures, words, gazes and silences with the sensual and sensorial during this confrontation of man and matter: The moment the object is created... This film is a tribute to the artisans who participated in various Hermès workshops. Isabelle Dupuy-Chavanat and Frédéric Laffont have captured the sounds of leather and crystal, the sweet sound of silk and metal, the words of men and women and their silences.
