Blair Somerville is a self-described tinkerer who has spent decades building a sprawling collection of homemade automata out of scrap metal, wood, and salvaged machine parts. The film is a portrait of his workshop and the mechanical creatures inside it, figures that creak, spin, and gesture when cranked or wired to motors, each one assembled from whatever Somerville could scavenge. Interviews and footage of him moving through his own creations give a sense of the scale of the project, described as the world's largest collection of its kind, and of the obsessive, solitary process behind it. Rather than treating the automata as a curiosity to gawk at, the camera lingers on the craft: welded joints, hand-carved faces, gears repurposed from old farm equipment. It is a short, focused look at one man's decades-long private art project, built without an audience in mind until now, and the strange, rustic world he made out of things other people threw away.
