Summary
Historic Italian sculptor Giacomo Manzù used to say that the sculpture is a hand gesture, a gesture of love. This documentary follows the process of creating one of Velasco Vitali's famous dog sculptures, from wax to glazed bronze, at Fonderia Artistica Battaglia (Battaglia Artistic Foundry) in Milan. The film observes the work of a group of skilled artisans in this 100-year-old foundry and reveals the ancient traditions of bronze sculpture making, unchanged since the Sixth century B.C
