Made in response to the death of his friends Bob Fleischner and Jack Smith, who died within one week of each other in 1989, this feature includes footage from Jacobs’s Star Spangled to Death showing Smith perambulating through downtown Manhattan, as well as views of Fleischner from Jacobs’s 1961 short The Whirled.

A face, on an old song sheet, with eyes that peer out from the past; a quiet room with sunlight seeping thru the drawn blinds. Tranquil moments, as the camera pans down the lyrics of an old song. A film made with a memory of a similar song sheet, that impressed me at the age of 14. –B. F.

A green shirt on a clothesline that says sways and dances with the breeze, which celebrates the joy of living, and the joy of filmmaking. –B. F.

"An encounter at Coney Island both sweet and sad, between Jerry (Sims) and Barbara (Kahn), and the filmmakers, himself!" - B. F.

Um homem acaricia objetos, olha-se no espelho, posa com roupas diferentes, sorri e faz caretas para a câmera enquanto a sua voz na trilha sonora fala do seu desespero, faz declarações impressionista e pequenas canções, citações Greta Garbo e Maria Montez, diz a história de um garoto solitário e pouco conta a história de uma mulher que sonha em si mesma como a madre superiora de um convento de perversão sexual.
