Saceba

The cement plant Saceba in the Breggia Valley in Ticino, Switzerland is a derelict symbol of what used to be one of the areas most important production lines: concrete produced from the local limestone deposits.

An abandoned industrial site with its subterranean caves and huge concrete structures poking into the skies, highlighting the changes that the region is undergoing in a film that finds its balance somewhere between poetry and archeological documentary.
