Time feels suspended through a measured edit of static frames in grey tones, devoid of human presence. An unsettling soundscape deepens the near-ghostly atmosphere, as the film holds an ambiguous question: have the avant-garde and the industrial era failed in their promise of progress, or are new upheavals still to come? Refusing to take sides, the film breathes both uneasy melancholy and a vivid sense of anticipation.
