The Stone Mason is a short documentary film about an old handcraft, traditionally handed down from one generation to the next. All the handcrafts require time, concentration and diligence. They are listed as skills that are in danger of vanishing. If these crafts disappear, we lose a large part of our cultural inheritance. This loss is a sign of our times; our digital age. Do we need these crafts and the values they represent in our modern world?
