An avant-garde visual poem that transforms Manhattan's skyline into an abstract, rhythmic meditation on urban modernity through montage and fluid cinematography.

A montage of the skyscrapers of Manhattan opens with a succession of stationary views of the upper portions of numerous buildings. This is followed by a wide variety of fluid shots, which also begin to show more and more of the surrounding city, in addition to the skyscrapers themselves.
