Every February, three old men climb to a frozen mountain lake with hand saws their grandfathers forged, and cut winter into blocks. No machines, no hurry — just breath, rope and mule bells on the switchbacks. This is the last year the village has asked for ice. A documentary about the weight of a tradition you can hold in your hands, right up until it melts.
» Observational documentary teaser, 15 seconds, 16:9, four shots with hard cuts, shot on 35mm film, muted realistic color grade, gentle halation, handheld imperfect framing. SHOT 1 · Setup (0-4s): blue pre-dawn on a frozen mountain lake; three men in their seventies in patched wool coats and fogged breath kneel on the ice, scoring long parallel lines with enormous two-handled saws, wind-polished snow around them, no other soul for miles. SHOT 2 · Turn (4-8s): close on weathered hands with cracked knuckles levering an iron bar — a deep CRACK travels across the frame and a glassy block of ice lifts free, water welling black around it; the oldest man watches it rise without smiling. SHOT 3 · Escalation (8-12s): a mule train descends narrow stone switchbacks in first light, ice blocks wrapped in straw and burlap swaying on wooden frames, bells clinking, valley fog below. SHOT 4 · Cut (12-15s): summer village square, harsh noon sun — the same old hands shave the last surviving block into a frosted glass, hold it up to the light, and the frame cuts to black on the clink of the spoon. Natural imperfect skin with visible pores, every prop worn and mended, no legible text anywhere. Audio: only wind, saw strokes, cracking ice, mule bells and the final clink — no speech, no voices, no music.
