Description:

Description: A couple with a young child roam widely by car between Mexico, California, Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico in 1934. The eye behind the camera savors Sonoran desert lanscapes, its plants and rock formations, and the novelty of snowfall in the high desert. The camera also takes in scenes with the young child and short sequences filmed in San Francisco Bay, at a luxurious home in the East Bay hills and in the roadways of Baja California.
