From the cutting of the wood to the painting of the historiae, from the forged iron decorations to the multicoloured finishings of the horses, this film describes with rigour and precision the different phases of craftsmanship that go into making a traditional Sicilian cart. A little ethnological gem wrought by one of the fathers of Sicilian documentary, the forgotten Ugo Saitta.
