45 Seconds of Metropolis - Stop Motion

Using Lego, a toy really, I tried to create some of the atmosphere of Fritz Lang's Metropolis, a 1927 film that shows the hideous image of a society in the future in which the top-class and the workers are completely apart from each other - the workers living underground. You'll need to know the original to understand my film. My version is exactly 45 seconds long.
The three titles, in English, mean "The Hands", "The Head" and "The Heart", referring to the tagline of the film: "Der Mittler zwischen Hirn und Händen muss das Herz sein" - "The mediator between head and hands must be the heart".

This was part of a project for school, my so-called Maturarbeit.
