There is then a series of shots of Linda Holman wearing a grey jacket and white cap, holding hands with Pauline Thompson Wood, who is wearing a fur shawl over a grey dress and posing for the camera. This is followed by a series of shots of a group of people standing together in a yard and smiling for the camera. Linda Holman appears in the front row wearing a white dress with a bow in her hair. Next, there is a long series of shots depicting street life in Paris, France. Many of the shots capture images of market areas with vendors and street performers. There is a succession of quick shots of a home and people at a large mansion before the films cuts to a series of shots depicting the Holman family interacting with friends and neighbors on a quiet street.

    2016.16.4.1a: 16mm film. The film opens with men casually talking outside of a building. This is followed by a demonstration inside the building of two local men demonstrating, for the visitors, how they weave textiles. Next, the visitors are shown outside looking at an outdoor pottery kiln. This is followed by brief shots of the visitors casually meeting indoors. An exterior shot of "Laboratoire O.J. Brandt" is captured before the camera tilts down revealing a group of men standing in front and shaking hands with a woman. An indoor shot of a table covered in miscellaneous pottery items follows, and the outdoor pottery kiln is shown again; fired up. A group of men stand around inspecting various pottery items, a man pokes a stick inside the kiln, and a car trunk full of clayworks tools and a portable kiln is shown. A boy holds up a clay figurine for the camera, and various shots of blossomed trees follow. A wide shot of a group of women standing and talking is followed by a series of low-angle, portrait style shots and another group shot. Next, there is travel footage of an unknown town in Tunisia. Locals walk around the city, and there is wide shot of the Beit El synagogue in Sfax, Tunisia. Next, a long shot reveals the ancient Roman amphitheater in El-Djem, Tunisia and is followed by various shots walking around inside of the ancient ruins. The film ends with a very brief shot of boats docked on a bay.
