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 elements of sound design.

Sound is the soul of this film...For a Space to be alive and have a gravitational pull to it without focusing on humans, sound design had to be the memories, the laughter, the intimate moments, it had to be the life that the Space contains. Sound in this film is echoing as if it is the remembrance of the Space, hence breathing life, warmth and nostalgia into it. Sound design had to seamlessly blend with the poetic narration and the music, while being fully present as a driver of emotion in the film.
