    George. his Sylvia

    A very different portrait of shoemaker is proposed by this film. A different perspective about ballet is the fruit of this short movie. Not last, provocative guide this George Arkwright , supperficiat apprentice at first, helped by professional rigor of his master , reminding the steps of discover of reality of life grace Mr. Traynor and looking for be , as modest crafter, part of a very delicate world.

    Rich poetry, flavors of fairy talr , nice performances and atmosphere.

    In short, a seductive, in profound sense, short film, great for grace of suggestions - many clues about David Traynor past - and for coming of age of his apprentice.
