    Overview:

    An autobiographical diary film assembled from unused footage shot between 1960 and 2000, interwoven with reflections, music, and glimpses of family, friends, city life, and travel. Mekas transforms these fragments into a poetic celebration of memory, happiness, and the passing of time.
