Beautifully woven, complex and subtle, this film captures an essence of NYC after 9/11. A great script, some stunning photography, an excellent score that helps tie it all together, and a great ensemble cast make this small film seem quite large. The emotions that bubble under the surface, only sometimes breaking through, give this film its strength and its power. Different stories of different people all struggling with day to day life sharing the common experience of being New Yorkers post 9/11. The references to what happened are almost all unspoken, evoked through the images displayed or the background sounds, yet there is no doubt that what happened is a force in the lives of all of these people. Intelligent film-making at its best. 影片讲述的五个故事就发生在纽约人日常的生活中。特拉布勒斯是一名心理医生，他的病人桑的在经历911事务后，对局限的人、事感到冤仇和失望。特拉布勒斯使用自己共同的方法重燃桑的对生活的热情。艾米基勒是纽约市糕点重要供应商之一，为了揽到生意不择才具，把他的敌手一家逼上了尽路……911事务后，美国进进了后911期间，所以这是第一部直接反映911事务后，纽约人生活百态的喜剧，以及他们对于那段记忆的态度。注意，它决不是对劫后余生的悲剧反思。影片讲述了各成一体的五个互不相乾的故事，展示了故事中的人物经历了911事务后的心路过程。幽默的才具挥去了这个主题下的阴冷和极重，体现了编者分别凡响的智慧。
