It's filmed in the Gablonz region of Czechoslovakia and demonstrates the process and techniques used to make the Czech glass cabochons, buttons,  drops, and chandalier components that I use in my jewelry.  The pieces I use were made before the 1960's, mostly from the 1920's, but this family glassworks in the film is the only glassworks left that is still using the original facility and techniques!
