A young boy in red swim trunks holds a blue and red beach ball at the water's edge, while a girl in a yellow swimsuit wades nearby. Shot on 8mm film in 1947, this vintage home movie captures a nostalgic summer day at the Connecticut coast. The grainy, slightly faded color and soft focus evoke a timeless, personal memory of childhood play by the sea.
