Arnold Golay, fabricant de jouets=Noldy Golay

Jacqueline Veuve
1992 Switzerland 28 minutes French

Sentier in the Joux valley. 91 year old Arnold Golay, works as he has done all his life, with the seriousness of an artisan and the patience of a peasant. His fingers effortlessly shape miniature toys-tanks, sledges and tools of his childhood, miniature replicas constructed with delicate precision. He is a modest perfectionist : “One is much more finnicky when one is a clockmaker’s apprentice”.
