1.21 New York, Amsterdam, Wuppertal, Ruhr area in the seventies. Taxi, plane, light rail, train, ship. Maps, newspapers, notepads, police stations. Roads, music, conversations, what you see along the way. The image and reality of "listening" through the protagonist's mouth. Everything is Wendersian, whirling, searching, nostalgic poetry. (ps The background music in Eminem's restaurant is actually a Chinese pop song

Germans are really speculative, they have ideas about television, and they have ideas about photography. And it's so open wow, two strangers go to bed and do nothing... Documented the twin towers of the Empire State Building in New York, and the hanging tram in Utapole. The most amazing thing is that the chairs in the New York airport can be coin-operated to watch TV, and now they look so magical.

Lisa - Alice's Mother: What are you writing?
Philip 'Phil' Winter: The inhuman thing about American TV is not so much that they hack everything up with commercials, though that's bad enough, but in the end all programmes become commercials. Commercials for the status quo. Every image radiates the same disgusting and nauseated message. A kind of boastful contempt. Not one image leaves you in peace, they all want something from you.
