Murano, the island of the Venice lagoon where the glass factories are located and where the masters of the glass were born. Today many factories are closed, the ancient art of blown glass has remained in the hands of a few artists. A boy observes a sculpture in a garden: a wall of glass bricks, while in a nearby furnace with 1200 degrees, a master and his helpers continue to create glass sculptures. Unique masterpieces whose price, to be realized, is to breathe toxic vapors.
