In this tape, Paik and Kubota talk to us about the difficult relations between two sons, Allen Ginsberg, poet and performer, and Allan Kaprow, performer, and their respective fathers. Louis Ginsberg and Barnett Kaprow. The two sons, Jewish intellectuals belonging to the rebel movements of the avant-garde, confront their conservative fathers. Allen Ginsberg appears singing and playing with the poet Peter Orlowsky. He is then opposed to his father in a public debate. At the end of this tape, after his father's death, Allen Ginsberg is shown with a medallion on his forehead containing a picture of his father. He comments on things which father said about him and that he himself said to his father. Between the Kaprows, there is no dialogue. We see Allan Kaprow building a wall out of ice in Jerusalem and walking on the Sea of Galilee accompanied by Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.

In this work, Nam June Paik is trying to highlight not only the differences between the generations, but also the questions of homosexuality and immigration in the United States, American Jews and the relations between East and West and between the Middle East and America.
