A young girl in a bright red hooded coat learns to ice skate on a frozen pond in Hicksville, New York, 1956. Shot on 8mm film, the footage captures her determined attempts to balance and move across the ice, sometimes falling and getting back up. The scene is set in a quiet winter landscape with snow-covered ground and bare trees in the background. The grainy, color-bleached quality of the Super 8 home movie evokes a strong sense of nostalgia and personal memory from the mid-20th century.
