“One of the greatest American independent films ever made.”
—The New Yorker

Eighty years apart, the lives and loves of two couples are lyrically interwoven through the use of archival photography, ragtime, and African percussion. A poetic portrait of the struggles of Black American, deaf and hearing communities, and the complexity of romance at the start and turn of the twentieth century. A landmark of independent cinema from writer-director Zeinabu irene Davis.
