An avant-garde silent documentary that subverts the travelogue form through playful montage and visual satire, capturing both the beauty and social contradictions of 1930s Nice.

What starts off as a conventional travelogue turns into a satirical portrait of the town of Nice on the French Côte d'Azur, especially its wealthy inhabitants.
