Beginning at dawn, the film moves from the country into the city, observes the various social classes of the city, and proceeds through the day following representatives of different societal roles, such as the businessman and the baker. Work and leisure both are depicted. Set to a music soundtrack, the film follows the pace of the city both audibly and visually, using various cinematographic techniques."
