A sign reads, “FONTANA miralulbandlsgeschaft MEZZANIN,” with a small swastika in the upper left corner. She and another woman walk alongside a man, their arms linked. They all smile as they walk down the street. On a busy Vienna street a shop sign reads, “käsebäckerei.” [black for 15 seconds] Man seen earlier stands in front of a shop with a sign that reads, “VOLKSLESEHALLE FILM UND KINO ABTEILUNG.” He walks towards the camera and removes his hat. He observes the city. A couple climb into their car, followed by two other women. They exit the car on another street, the first woman waving as she walks away with the man. CU of Helen and another woman. They stand with their luggage on the steps of the building, fleeing from Vienna to Trinidad. A bellboy goes past. They smile.
