The episodes in which the main character is involved are each marked off by a tracking shot, 13 of them.
The tracking shots that mark each "chapter" are thematically inked to each other. In one example, a tracking shot ends on a telephone booth, and the subsequent tracking shot starts on a different telephone booth. A second couplet is linked by shots of farm equipment, a third couplet is linked by shots of tires, etc.
The original French title, Vagabond (1985) (With neither Shelter nor Law), is a play on a common French idiom, "sans foi ni loi," meaning "with neither faith nor law." It also puns on sans toi ("without you").
