MINNESOTA USA-1958: Two young children, a girl in a light dress and a boy in jeans, play together in a backyard, spinning a hula hoop around their bodies. The scene shifts to a stark contrast: two skinned animal carcasses hang from a wire fence in front of a pink building, likely a farm. Shot on 8mm film, this vintage home movie captures a poignant juxtaposition of childhood innocence and rural life, with natural lighting and the characteristic grain of Super 8 footage.
