It is Spring 1941. An intertitle introduces this segment as ‘our first days at the beach’. Three children, the two eldest with model boats, come out of the backyard and walk down to the beach. On the beach, a woman is seated on a director’s chair under a large beach umbrella while the children play in the sand. One of the boys poses for the camera. A man dressed in swimming trunks runs down to join the others and they are all joined by friends.
