An abstract movie about the relentless cycle of life, including growth and decay, wonder and awe. This film explores the idea that contemporary urban cityscapes are replacing the natural environment -for example skyscrapers and buildings have taken the place of mountains- and that man has been very successful in taming nature, for good and bad. Woven into this are imaginary images suggesting that there may be more to reality than what is perceived through our senses. The question in the film is: What is true? What can we believe? What lies behind what we see?
