Scala viewfinds the escalator in various states; meditating upon the seemingly endless chug of time, and an ‘end place’ that eludes us. Handheld, and coupled with fragments of found sounds and an original score, the film attempts to convey the strange delight and fear of being both stilled and moved by an unstoppable force.
