Underground filmmaker Jonas Mekas presents a collection of home movies, outtakes, and unfinished projects. A picnic in Central Park with friends is shown, as are Allen Ginsberg and Norman Mailer in an anti-war protest march. John Lennon and Yoko Ono are captured on their celebrated honeymoon, where they answered questions from the media in a Toronto hotel room to promote peace. (official distributor synopsis)
