This Was Our Life

The plot

This film is about New York as I personally experienced it just before the pandemic hit in the winter of 2020. It is shocking to see how much we have lost in the year since, In retrospect, that life was very beautiful, We daily shared the subway, the dinners, the births, the deaths, the theater and gyms, art and music with old friends and with total strangers. I wonder how much of this casual intimacy we will ever recover? The cover image is of my mother Claire and uncle Fritz playing in Vienna in 1930. Like us a year ago, they were innocent to the disaster that lay ahead.
