Synopsis
Polish born sculptor Shelomo SELINGER was reborn at age 17 with amnesia, without a past. Since the War he has recovered his memory and led a full and vital existence. Each morning he hurries out to his studio to begin hammering stone or wood. Like a metronome the sound echoes throughout his atelier's courtyard, sometimes accompanied by his neighbor the pianist. In this film we follow Shelomo SELINGER in his daily life. He reveals his past and the depth of his relationship with the materials he works with. His friends and family help draw a portrait of this man, a force of nature, determined, touching, overflowing with light, ferociously celebrating life.
