It looks even more beautiful when taken over by plants.

You'll agree after watching "Wrapped," a short film created by Roman Kälin, Falko Paeper and Florian Wittmann that's won a ton of festival awards and is now viewable online:

Wrapped from Crave on Vimeo.

 

"The short explores the effects of time and change focusing on the the worlds seemingly never ending cycles," the creators say.

The film combines time lapse photography with computer graphics to create a surreal 3 minute narrative, like a dystopian Planet Earth documentary. Vines and ferns burst out of bricks and concrete. The Brooklyn Bridge explodes.
