A man in a long coat pushes a sled carrying two young boys down a snow-covered street in Buffalo, New York, during a winter day in 1944. The black-and-white 8mm home movie captures the boys bundled in heavy winter clothing, including hats and coats, as they ride through a quiet residential neighborhood. A vintage car is parked on the snowy street, and houses with snow-laden roofs line the background. The footage shows natural film grain, slight camera shake, and the characteristic vignette of an old 8mm home movie, evoking a nostalgic, authentic slice of mid-20th century American life.
