Overview

Dramatic film of workmen high on a rocky cliff above a coastal road and clearing a path through a heavy snowfall.

A short film to make you shiver: these dramatic shots see a group of workmen perched high above a coastal road, drilling on a rocky cliff face; a precarious spot for the camera, too. Down on the ground a line of workmen, stretching far into the distance, clear a path by carving blocks like giant sugar cubes from the dense snow - barehanded!
