A young woman at a menial secretarial job fantasizes about suicide. After work, she walks around the dirty London city for awhile then gets aboard a white bus that takes her on a tour of a typical British city. She, along with the other passengers, walk around a huge industrial complex, visit an art gallery, a girl's school and other typical British locations. She says little to nothing, I remember only two lines, and rarely interacts with the other characters except to tell one of them to take his hand off her knee. It's mostly in black and white but there are occasional changes to color for a few seconds to a few minutes for no rhyme or reason. I suppose it provides a glimpse at the post war, heavily industrialized England of the 1960s, with a particular appreciation of the architecture, but otherwise dated and not exactly riveting viewing.
