The film is shown in the block [1st] Series of films by Yuri Ancarani

Monte Bettogli, Carrara: in the marble quarries men and machines dig the mountain.

“Il Capo” (The Chief) manages, coordinates and guides quarrymen and heavy-duty machines using a language consisting solely of gestures and signs. Conducting his dangerous and sublime orchestra against the backdrop of the sheerslopes and peaks of the Apuane Alps, the Chief works in total noise, which create a paradoxical silence.
