A film like an Impressionist painting; the kind of paintings to have titles like 'urban view from the artist's studio'.

There is no dialogue; the sound track only comprises streets sounds as well as the music. Loose, almost nonchalant impressions of the street or of cloudy skies are juxtaposed with posed, almost photographic mildly homo-erotic portraits of friends of the film-maker.
