Man Push Cart

He commutes every day, well before sunrise, from his Brooklyn hovel to a pushcart storage facility in midtown Manhattan. He picks up his cart, and physically drags it to his spot, several blocks away. With an almost orchestral cadence, he fills the industrial-size coffee filter, prepares and piles paper cups with tea bags, and arranges bagels and doughnuts in the tiny display window of his cart. This rhythm of his daily grind punctuates the film periodically. In fact, it is the one thing that grounds the audience. No matter what happens through the film, we always know that Ahmad will return to his cart and the comforting beat of his diurnal pulse
