This film introduces the origins of ñanduti and recalls one of its many legends. As the camera follows a peasant woman on her daily chores, the symbolic and representatives patterns of ñanduti are juxtaposed to natural or man-made objects. The film also documents the process in the making of ñanduti. A lace maker is observed as she laces a mantelpiece from beginning to end. The film closes with selected samples of this beautiful, but rapidly disappearing art.
