Film pendek “bebas” ini, yang diambil di pabrik-pabrik kaca di Leerdam dan Schiedam, mendemonstrasikan cara kerja para peniup kaca. Berkat rekaman kerja tangan dan ritme gerakan mesin-mesin yang diedit sedemikian rupa, film ini menjadi sebuah tour de force yang sinematik. Fakta bahwa industri ini tidak bisa berjalan tanpa campur tangan manusia ditampilkan melalui adegan di mana kita mendengar suara Haanstra sendiri menghitung jumlah botol di konveyor, sampai salah satu botolnya pecah… Eddy van der Enden mengoperasikan kameranya, sementara Pim Jacobs mengiringi rangkaian gambar tersebut dengan musik jazz.

This short ‘free’ film, shot in the glass factories of Leerdam and Schiedam, demonstrates how glass blowers do their work. But thanks to the superbly edited ballet of working hands and the sequence of mechanical motions of the engines, is it especially a cinematic tour de force. That the industry can’t do without man’s involvement is shown in the scene where we hear the voice of Haanstra himself counting the bottles on the conveyor belt, until one bottle breaks… Eddy van der Enden was operating the camera, the images are underscored by the music of jazzman Pim Jacobs.
