New York City, Times Square, on May 9th 2002. Cars passing, a truck turning right. Red means Stop. Green means Go. It's raining. People are walking around with umbrellas. An image of the American metropolis as can be seen every day at this street corner. This perfectly ordinary image contrasts with the stunning city of NYC as we think we know it. Edited in slow motion, this looping movie opens our eyes to the aesthetics and poetry of banality, taking thus the power of alleviating us. The slow electronic music underlines the melancholic impression created by a rainy day in NYC.
