There is a tiny unknown printing house in Lublin. An 80-year-old man is the world´s last manual typesetterin who is still professionally active. Using small lead type, he composes prize-winning ex-librises which are exhibited all over the world. His job is a true passion. It gives him strength to carry on despite the fact that there's nobody to continue the job... His life story told in the documentary is also exceptional, especially what is in between the lines of it.
