Pensive signs of life, the demolition of a historic hotel, and the hum of a nearby steel mill permeate this quietly crushing essay film on class relations, and institutional violence. Where the impersonal is pervasive, the personal is a discursive study of image and sound; dissolving narratives of progress/collapse; and the (in)compatibilities between images of refusal and their respective representations. This is the story of a protracted shipwreck that is both labyrinthine and foreclosing.
