Why it works

The opening question lands at 0:00, a flag interrupts at 0:00.6, and a dated map at 0:02 sets up a reversal by about 0:03.3. The edit moves from abstract territory to a camp and then children by 0:21, before answering the question at 0:44.4 and accelerating through ten cuts from 0:45 to 0:50.
