 A poetic documentary about the Empire State Building in time-lapse technique on 16mm film for over a period of 6 years. It is kaleidoscopic portrait of the ecstatic torch of human ingenuity and the shadow of excess that it casts. Millions of stories and colors swirl chaotically under the watch of this lone sentinel. The multi-layered story speaks to the soul of human Empire, dying always for a new dawn.
