مستندی تصویری که شرایط زندگی در شهر های کوچک و شهرهای صنعتی را مقایسه میکند. در ابتدا با تصویری مختصر از ایالات متحده صنعتی شروع میکند و سپس دنیای آشفته مدرن و صنعتی تجاری را به تصویر میکشد
Visionary documentary that contrasts the conditions of life in small towns and in the industrialized cities, starting with a brief portrait of pre-industrial United States, then moving into the modern chaotic, industrial and commercial city to reflect on the effects of this environment on family life and the raising of children, and finally proposing a return to a simpler life, in an idyllic "new city" in Maryland, constructed as a New Deal project, to promote proper upbringing of children, as well as a stable family life.
