Description
Behind a gossamer fabric curtain and two small pots that adorn the window, a suspension bridge crosses a complex of highways in New York and apartment buildings are visible in the background.
We see panoramic shots of the area as cars move on the road on the bridge and then shots as the filmmaker and his friend board on a car. We are taken to the World Trade Center (Twin Towers) and the lens follows the twin giants from bottom to top. We see that the top floors of the one skyscraper are under construction.
These are the two towers that 29 years later will receive a terrorist attack and the humanity will watch in shock the attack and the two giants falling down like they were made from paper, live on television. Since then, people's view in the world has changed radically and fear will stay permanently in the Western societies.
Afterwards, we see the Chrysler building that was built in 1928 by the architect William Van Allen, perhaps the best example of Art Deco style architecture.
The film shows footage from the Ford Foundation's interior gardens that was designed by Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo and Associates LLC and was built in 1968 as well as shots from a crashed car on a Manhattan street.
The film closes with shots from the Manhattan building structure and moments from the people’s daily life on Madison Avenue and
the 85th Street corner.
