Summary

In 1935 Rudy Burckhardt came to New York from Switzerland with Edwin Denby who had been a dancer in post World War I Germany. Rudy began to photograph the city while Denby proceeded to write sonnets about the city, some of them to go with Burckhardt's photos. Here in this film, many years later the two come together as Denby reads his sonnets while Burchhardt's photos appear on the screen.
