The main character, played by Chris Parker, wanders around a dingy New York atmosphere and is confronted by a number of intriguing characters as he ponders the questions of life, and searches for a better place. Permanent Vacation was Jarmusch's first release, and was shot on 16 mm film, in 1979, shortly after he dropped out of film school. The film won the Josef von Sternberg Prize in Mannheim, West Germany, and the International Critics Prize in Figueira da Fox, Portugal.
