She contacted McKean after watching his no-budget short films, which exhibited the personality, creativity, humor, and accessibility of Henson’s work.

Her German leading man shovels snow and lays roads for the city, replacing New York City's "knobby, pothole-begetting ostrich-egg cobblestones" with slabs of smooth Belgian granite. He does time mucking out the fascinating labyrinth of Manhattan sewers. He works underwater laying the foundations of the Brooklyn Bridge in the silty muck at the bottom of the East River, and finally he gets promoted to working on the bridge's two towers. As the narrative flows forward, Gaffney's hero gets a series of names...
