A tense, poetic observation on the marginal people and forgotten/ neglected places of New York City. Chance, fleeting meetings take place between the filmmaker and passers-by. Events of unexpected beauty take place, disturbance itself becomes a form of inspiration as the boundaries between intimate and public events erode. Christmas day, a homeless man on 42nd Street builds a tree from trash and old cans. A man sits prophet-like, repeating ritualized signals towards the sky. A spiritual journey on a stream of slowed down street images, a visual meditation.
