What does the film want and what can it give the spectators? They can reflect on their lives and their own existence in working life and rely on their own strength. The heartfelt artistic message of blowing glass is not the main part of the film but the wise reflections on life. 

The material's warm flows and incorporation of form and content. The symbolic way of interpreting life, harmony, version of friendliness of what is essential. Glass art in all its forms has been seen in previous documentary films, flow images in the workshop are accompanied by philosophical considerations of actual life, of being a thinking and emotional citizen, about our life here and now. In contrast to the fast-paced process of glass production, Leif Ahrle's thoughts feel like truths for eternity, as the glass art is eternal when finished.
