Beautiful, impersonal images of life in New York are juxtaposed with intimate letters from Akerman's mother, read by the filmmaker herself.
In this film, a Belgian filmmaker, Chantal Akerman, resides in New York City. The city's scenery is juxtaposed with the texts of her loving but controlling mother, who remains in Brussels. As the movie progresses, the city takes center stage, while the mother's words, read by Akerman herself, gradually recede into the background.
