This film offers a new viewpoint in macro and micro ways on the Hong Kong urban environment. By adjusting the camera perspective, we can gain a fresh appreciation of the city and its surroundings. This film expands and contrasts our focus by using color, shapes, texture changes, and interweaving micro and macro scenes, as well as the sound that comes from those images.
