Write a short summary of what happens in the film.

A narrator poetically talks about spaces and their gravitational beauty, in search of what lies beyond what we see everyday.

Tell the jury about the production design/art direction.

Spaces are the hero of this film. They needed to have a soul. They needed to stir emotions, without people. First we selected Spaces that had a gravitational pull to them. That took extensive recce and search. We then carefully art-directed each set with great details. From the choice of an overall warm color pallette of the film, to every color in every set , to every single prop , wardrobe, car colors and shapes/designs, while keeping each Space looking natural and seamlessly captivating.
