Plot synopsis

The film centres around New Yorkers who are lonely and emotionally lost in the big city. Rose (Graham) has separated from her school teacher husband (Baldwin) and is in deep mourning over the loss of their baby. Tomaso (Chianese) is a painter who has just learned that he's going blind. And Simon (Rasuk) is a 20-year-old photo shop clerk living at home with his alcoholic mother.

The three strangers live along the 1/9 subway line and two of them connect in a profound way. Simon, using borrowed cameras, becomes obsessed with Rose's scarf and begins stalking her to take her picture. When she learns what he is doing, her reaction is unexpected.[1]
