. . . the plump hands of lunching businessmen, the stored barrels of toxic waste, the child's vain escape from the bleak silhouettes of the housing estate, the roar of the automated warehouses, the glistening rows of model armaments, the wind whipping the retirement homes, the smooth expanse of landscaped company lawns, the ominous rumble of the night cleaners. . .

This is a film about controlled environments, a subjective time-capsule of life in the 1980's, a Elm for the urban geographers of the future...a response to surroundings. Paul Elliott is a cinematographer/Elm-maker based in Sydney.
