A short documentary on the production of rayon, shot in Torviscosa (Italy). It portrays the production of this new synthetic fabric in the small town of Torviscosa, entirely built following strict fascist canons We follow a harvest of reeds, their transformation into cellulose, then into pasteboard, which is cut up and ground into pulp. What we’re witnessing is a "chemical storm which gives rise to a miracle,” converting the product into fibre as "soft and light as snow.” Seven reeds are enough to make one suit.
