This collection of seven documentary shorts is tall on diversity. The wide-ranging subject matter includes such intriguing themes as: a business for cleaning up gory crime scenes; the congregation, in public, of hundreds of people meditating by laughing their saris off; and the unlikley, iconic status of a lone telephone booth in the middle of the desert. The fascinating characters include four gorgeous, old dolls who grant us with a candid (and at times tawdry) glimpse at their younger selves and, later, a few of the colorful residents of the last flophouse still operating in The Bowery. We are also confronted with the heart-wrenching reality of a family in crisis and asked to briefly consider the relative obscurity of a take-one girl.

The material is varied, fresh, and ultra-quirky, and it is presented in a raw, unscripted manner which I thoroughly appreciated.
