The Cobblers Tale

Synopsis

The cobbler is that rare combination: both individual and architype, both a face and a body. To his customers whose shoes are coming to pieces, he's the man who can fix anything. His shop, located in the middle of Gatesheads Jewish Community, is a mirror that reþects back to the viewer a picture of some of the salient social and psychological processes that underlie our culture.
