“I return once more to these corridors filled with ghosts” murmurs the film-maker, as he is also turned into another spectre condemned to wander through the images of his unfinished film. As if trapped in a labyrinth, he roams through the fields and corridors of an old school converted into housing. The film-maker was banned from filming the place after it changed. Years later he decides to remake The Project.
