Documentation of a political congress in black and white contrast with vivid Kodachrome touristic sequences.

Between documentation sequences of the political congress are home movie scenes of leisure travel in Netherlands and Denmark showing the city streets of Amsterdam and rural scenery including windmills, canals, houseboats, and Fredensborg Palace in Denmark.
