About
A heat wave sends the residents of a New York City tenement to their fire escapes for whatever breeze is stirring The tenants are a cross section of meltingpot culture Irish Jewish German and Italian dialetcs create a rich aural mix on the sound track As small talk is exchanged among the residents of different floors an offcamera hurdygurdy supplies an often ironic counterpoint to the action
