Description
"Four young people try to understand why their friend, a young woman, committed suicide. A film made of disjointed scenes oscillating between past and present. The title comes from a poem by Stuart Perkoff that tells how some young people (around 1960) felt that everything was against them, even the trees in the parks and on the streets seemed to them like weapons aimed at their very existence."
— Jonas Mekas (in Film Culture n°24, 1970)
