A meditative animated parable about faith, hubris, and the human impulse to build monuments to the divine, told through the tragedy of enslaved workers crushed by their own creation.

A swarm of slaves in ancient Egypt moves massive boulders to erect a statue of Re, the god of the sun. Erecting impressive structures required knowledge and exact measurements. However, the statue's massive hand falls down and crushes the builders. The statue has been awe-inspiring for many centuries. Meditations on the religious nature of man.
