SYNOPSIS

An audio-visual portrait of a neighborhood in the city of Chicago. Life presents itself in two contradictory ways: as seen through the windows of an apartment filmed over the course of three years - peaceful, mundane, ambiguous; and as told through the local police scanner recorded during the last year of the Trump administration, also the first year of the ongoing pandemic - violent, tragic, absurd. From here, a neighborhood is observed, a city is echoed, and a country is footnoted.
