Each day 500,000 people from 117 different countries ride the bright red #7 subway train that runs from Flushing to Times Square, going through Queens, the most ethnically diverse region in the United States. Follows four immigrant passengers: a Korean who works in a Harlem fish store, two Otavalen street vendors in Chinatown, and a gay Pakistani fabric salesman on Fifth Avenue. Their lives and their conflicted relationships with the city and its other residents are juxtaposed with the subway they take each day to get to Manhattan.
