Abstract
A home movie of a family, including two men, one in a military uniform, a young woman, and a baby; and a shot of a large body of water. The title does not seem to refer to anything in this film's contents.
Description
The first few shots show a man in a tan jacket, a woman in a yellow blouse and red lipstick, and a baby, standing in daylight in front of a brick wall. The adults take turns holding the baby and smiling for the camera. The man attempts to shield the baby from the sun by casting a shadow with his arm while the woman pats the baby's back, perhaps burping it. This is followed by a close-up of the baby crying as the woman attempts to soothe the baby, holding it close to her chest. The baby appears to relax and the woman nuzzles it with her nose. This is followed by a full-body shot of the man, cigarette in hand. He puts on a visor cap with a military seal matching his uniform, and a medium shot, first with only the man, then with another man wearing a white tee shirt and white cardigan and baseball cap. Finally, the film cuts to a shot of waves breaking on a rocky shore under a blue, partly cloudy sky.
