The staff of life is made and baked and eaten around the world. It may be corn, ground and made into tortillas; or wheat, harvested, threshed, winnowed, made into flour, and baked in loaves in stone or brick ovens; or unleavened bread in many forms, baked before open fires. The common food of ordinary people, the rhythm of its making is part of the rhythm of life. Without words, the film moves swiftly across many countries and cultures to show the beauty and importance of simple things. (IFF catalog)
