O'mast
52' (ITA, ENG subs)
The Italian masters give insight into the craft of tailoring the perfect suit.
In the craftsmen’s language O’mast is the man in charge, the master. He is the one that really knows the craft. He gives the lines to follow, the style and the quality of the work. O'mast explores the culture and tradition of tailoring in Naples. For lovers of Italian culture and craftsmanship, it is a gentle but engaging glimpse of life in the city. Tailoring aficionados and industry heavyweights speak about their origins, views on style and how the city of Naples makes it all possible.
A positive, inspiring film that highlights the beauty of the city of Naples that is so often overlooked.
The main characters of this film are some of the best tailors in Naples and are accompanied by some clients who help complete the picture with their point of views and stories.
O'mast is a story that goes a little wider than talking about the craft: the craft exists because there is a certain cultural environment and it's a typical part of the Neapolitan culture. This film shows a city and a part of its culture from the inside, far from the well known decadent pictures of Naples, used and abused, but still sadly true. There are some key words to this documentary: excellence, dignity, beauty, work, elegance, passion. Coherency, truthfulness and elegance have been the real goals.
