Why it works
The opening rises from black by about frame 45 and holds a distant torch line long enough to make the landscape a question. Shot 2 then teaches geography with maps before the sunrise payoff around 177 s; the ending changes focus at frames 6813 and 6827 before a title and a 28-frame fade from frame 7204.
