A visual documentary featuring a group of Latina girls interacting on the back stairway of their home and a group of Latino boys interacting in the street. This is a document of a time and place shot from the front and back doors of my rented home of 37 Fair Avenue in San Francisco. I wanted to assemble a kind of story where perhaps the group of young women are interacting with the group of young men, though these shots were taken from different vantage points from my home and at different times. The scenes might seem staged, however, these people did not know they were being filmed. What I liked about these two groups of people was how they were hanging out together in their various ways with the girls pulling stickers out of a blanket and the boys encouraging their dog to scale a fence.
