A young boy in New York, USA, in 1939, tries on his father's military uniform in this vintage 8mm home movie. He wears the dark jacket with gold buttons and the peaked cap, standing in a room with white blinds and a bookshelf. The grainy, slightly overexposed footage captures his solemn expression and careful handling of the uniform, reflecting a moment of childhood imagination and familial connection during the wartime era.
