The camera probes the interior of the Sociéty Céramique in Maastricht, arguably the oldest (ceramics) factory in the Netherlands, where the toppled shelves of the abandoned storeroom once housed countless molds of now-forgotten pottery.

The factory has since been sadly demolished, but the short film functions not so much as a nostalgic afterthought or aesthetic urbexing avant-la-lettre, but rather a call to arms to use and work with all manner of beauty, however useless it might seem.
