🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its narrative by meticulously following the project's timeline, from the first sketches in 1979 to the final removal. It explores not just the aesthetics but the bureaucratic, engineering, and social complexities of realizing such an ambitious public intervention.

What lingers after viewing is a deep appreciation for the philosophy of ephemeral art, where process and public engagement outweigh the physical artifact. The documentary becomes a testament to persistent creative vision. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Antonio Ferrera
