Why it works
The opening question changes words at frames 18 and 30 before the first footage cut at frame 54, so the audience has a question to resolve. Short sourced inserts make the narration concrete, while shot 41 takes 1436 frames for a spacious identity payoff with internal changes. Only 11 of 40 cuts are near beats, reinforcing phrase-led pacing.
