About this title

In an industrial area by a Tuscan river, a solitary figure approaches a mysterious building. The footage halts and rewinds, revealing a film lab where a technician watches the same scene on an analogue projector. The hidden operations of a Tuscan film laboratory are unveiled, capturing the intricate process of celluloid film development. From the darkroom shown with an infrared camera, to the baths that develop the film and reveal a latent image, to the scanner that converts the image on the film to a digital image; the machines come alive. In the yard, Czechoslovak wolves are raised by the lab’s owners.
