Home movie of a family living in Palm Springs, California, during the ‘50s.
Begins with shots of a field that includes many flowers. In the distance is a mountain range. A woman in the field photographs or films cars passing on the nearby highway. And two people are painting using easels; they are seated below large umbrellas that are next to their cars.
Wide shot of a couple who are about to enter their home.
Next we see a series of wide shots of a hotel’s pool and people swimming and using the pool’s slide. Striped umbrellas over white tables are set up around the pool. There is also a an outdoor patio that appears to be a part of a restaurant.
Wide shot of a home. The reflection of the filmmaker can be seen in the home’s window.
