This Oscar-nominated documentary short tracks the shift in the relationship of an individual to his work between the 19th century and today.

The scene then shifts from this peaceful setting to the roar of a 20th century nail mill, where banks of machines draw, cut, and pound the steel rods faster than the eye can follow.
