A definite road video made in the land best suited for the genre: USA. A trip through the dusty arteries of the continent, taken on snaking highways that siide in and out of cities - a continent baptised in the neonlight of night. The travelers are accompanied by the dazed voice of David Wojnarowicz, the poet about whom William Burroughs wrote: "D. W. captures the ancient tone of the street, the traveler, the outcast, the thief and the whore - the same tone that you heard in Villon's Paris and in Petronius' Rome."
