City of Cranes Ballet of Cranes (Original title)
Date: 21 March 2007 (Television)

Country: United Kingdom

Director: Eva Weber

Synopsis: An urban construction site provides the unlikely backdrop for a ballet of cranes. Massive loads glide through the air, almost as if they are weightless, as five cranes work in perfect unison. Beautiful and graceful to look at, their interplay requires a huge amount of mental concentration and understanding between the drivers.
