"The Street Melodies" is a symphony of 1960s Bucharest, describing details of the everyday life of the residents of Grivița Street and highlighting the major changes brought to the neighborhood during the decades of communism. The tone of the film is light, starting with a song dedicated to Grant Bridge and continuing with brisk jazz rhythms and visual references to the constructivism of Dziga Vertov's documentaries. It presents contented and lively residents, mirroring the music that accompanies their steps.
