This experiment in point of view, narrative structure, and time attempts to reproduce cinematically Gertude Stein’s notion of a “continuous present.” In four rhyming shots/scenes, it suggests the development of a relationship over many years. Based on biographical details from the lives of Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas, with improvised performances by Jackie Burroughs and Anne Anglin.
