This non-narrated documentary captures the extraordinary 10-hour journey of Banksy’s "Valentine’s Day Mascara" as it is carefully packaged, lifted, and transported from the Yamaha Music Shop on Wardour Street to its new home at the Yield Gallery on Eastcastle Street.

What should have been a straightforward relocation quickly becomes a tense, unpredictable operation. Along the way, the fragile artwork comes perilously close to damaging a Grade II listed building, bringing the entire process to the brink of disaster. When the crane lorry keys mysteriously go missing, the team is forced into an anxious standstill. And as the final destination, an unexpected obstacle—the gallery door itself—threatens to halt the mission entirely.

With no narration and no safety net, revealing the precision, pressure, and improvisation required to move one of the world’s most famous street artworks. What emerges is a gripping logistical drama—where art, risk, and determination collide.
