A Danish film crew follows two New Yorkers through the subways of New York City. Steve, a former homeowner and husband, now homeless, spends his nights sleeping in New York’s subway tunnels. Terry spends his days as a Transit Authority Policeman evicting the homeless from the subways and his nights entertaining his fellow New Yorkers as a standup comic. This compassionate yet clear-eyed film takes us on a tour through the survival skills and sense of humor that are requirements for living in the Big Apple.

The prolific Knud Vesterskov has created more than thirty independent films and videos, almost all of them focusing on issues of gay culture. Here he creates a vision of America based on the celebrated work of New York writer and painter David Wojnarowicz, who died in 1991. As William Burroughs noted, "David Wojnarowicz has caught the age-old voice of the road, the voice of the traveler, the outcast, the thief, the whore, the same voice that was heard in Villon’s Paris and the Rome of Petronius."
