In the sessions of this series, we will dissect and break down the parts of a film to thoroughly explore its structure. We will discuss technical aspects, editing, narrative features, characters, performances, styles, temporality, cinematography, aesthetics, and the viewer’s position in relation to the film. A subtle analysis carried out by film critics and professors. Three hours in which you can immerse yourselves in some of the greatest works in the history of cinema.

Country boy heads to the big city to seek success. While working as a clerk in a department store, he talks the manager into offering $1000 to anyone who can bring more customers to the store. He then arranges for a friend, a "human fly," to climb the face of the store building as a publicity stunt. Unfortunately, the "human fly" is a wanted man, and when "The Law" shows, our hero must make the climb himself. At each ledge he encounters new difficulties, climaxing in the famous 'clock scene.'
