THINK TANK is a cinematic metaphor for the courage to go one’s way. It is about reluctance and making decisions.
We are in the position of someone standing at the entry of a park. There is a strange and futuristic building in the distance. The person seems reluctant to walk on while two others are passing by. When he or she proceeds it’s still more like standing still than really moving forward.
Now our eyes turn to the right: What we see are many people who probably are in a similar pensive mode while they’re sitting on some benches. When suddenly it starts to thunder our hero walks on towards that strange building.
In this building the person finally seems to find shelter – as if it were a new world he/she has entered.
