A beautifully composed panoramic view of the Gulf of Naples leads to a sequence of different low-level perspectives accompanied by live sound. Beyond the walls, Amina and Amir begin a long journey; information written on the former glories of the city are accompanied by views of current degradation or words referencing modern problems. The story ends reprising the initial panoramic view at dusk, blurred by a background of persistent sounds and noises produced by the protagonists' more mature awareness of the city.
