Plots(1)

A study in acceleration and abstraction. The film holds back at first, with images of nature, but quickly speeds up, moving ever faster across roads and bridges, until the camera is rushing so fast that the picture dissolves into mere abstraction – or, some might say, finds itself at last. (Locarno Festival)
