A film essay comprised of amateur travelogues from the beginning of the 20th century. Through the first-person narration, the film treats these tapes as intimate documents and, at the same time, as collective ethnographies, and draws a new type of traveller who generates images and stories: scientific women, tourist women, Western women.
In this way, Courtney Stephens combines different times within her narration, connects the gazes of these filmmakers with the gazes of others who are currently working, and raises questions about the essence and origin of the female gaze.
