'A woman walks, baby strapped to her chest, through the streets of Fitzroy and Carlton. As she walks, she notices the way the skyline edges upward, nudged by the cranes of developers. And she notices the history of this place, ever-present, despite those cranes. She begins to know the people here — the young couple down the road, the glorious thirteen-year-old from the housing commission flats, and Alan, the eighty-three-year-old man who stands every day, shirtless, watering the garden of the house he was born in.'
