Paul Maillard, the tongue-in-cheek factor
Like his father and grandfather before him, Paul Maillard is a local craftsman. For generations, he has been making and tuning these local wooden tongues with a love of the craft, making him one of the last remaining craftsmen in this vanishing trade. This film looks over Paul Maillard’s shoulder as he tenderly shapes a wooden tongue. He talks about the evolution of his profession, and the threat of mass globalization.
