About this film, Sonbert wrote in the London Filmmakers' Co-op catalogue: "New York again and some Morocco. First sketches of varieties of people. East west city country, rich poor, old young. Many levels. Less movement but more editing and geometric progressions. It's over before you know it." -- Jon Gartenberg.
