Shot in Frederick Wiseman's trademark blank style--no narration, no music, and minimal editing--this four-hour documentary follows a cross-section of the small Maine city's workers, from lobstermen and tugboat operators working the picturesque coast to teachers, hospital workers and shopkeepers in the sleepy downtown center. Wiseman then examines the townspeople's social and cultural life by following volunteers at a local nursing home and rehearsals for community performances.
