The journey takes us from from remote expanses to the heart of an urban civilization. City canyons, bright as day, yet deserted. The protagonists are built structures, human-made objects. The promises of a smooth, idealized world fade at urban zone edges, where the sky expands again, and the steppe brings dust and sand back into civilization.
«Claws» is the final part of a trilogy on human-made landscapes. Shot in China, the film echoes human activity, curiosity, greed, dreams and traces of human interventions in nature.
