Thanks to its originality and the laboriousness of its animation technique, this unique film is probably the first, or at least one of the first films of its kind. Individual frames of the film, mapping the history of processing wood from the dawn of civilisation until the present were gradually carved into a single piece of wood. The wood-carving animation is supplemented by stop-motion animation of objects which fall out of the block of wood one by one.
