Synopsis:
Eddy Yacoubian – an immigrant from Lebanon – has been mending shoes since the tender age of nine. “If Eddy can’t fix it, no one can” his patrons affirm.
In the age of digital automation, Eddy’s artistry and humanity are a reminder of global cultural change. He accepts his reality with a certain discontent but also admits that luck has been a force majeure.
Shot cinema verité, MASTER EDDY with deep existential simplicity, hammers away his story one nail at a time, keeping a pragmatic philosophy of life, much like his hands do.
