Lino Tagliapietra is widely known as the greatest master glassblower to ever live, beloved by millions around the globe. He began his journey with glass at the age of 11 as a factory worker in Murano, Italy, and now at age 88, his body is slowing down and he is approaching retirement. But before he steps away from his life’s passion, he prepares for one final hot shop session and a last opportunity to blow glass with members of his original team. In this beautiful and exciting documentary, Lino pulls off a feat worthy of someone half his age as his team celebrates their love for glass, each other, and the man who taught them everything they know.
