Various clips of families in home movies. Both color and black and white.First Clip Black and White: An woman with two shorter girls walking holding hands out of a building onto stair steps. Then another three girls, one older in the middle, doing the same. Exterior shot of a brick church. A car drives by from right to left of the screen. Back to the same woman from the first group of three walking out, now with a baby in her arms and assumably her mother and a young girl in pants walking down the same steps with the stroller behind them. Cut to a long shot of the woman with her family walking down the sidewalk. Second Clip Color: A group including two older men, a boy, and four young ladies walk out of a brick building onto the stair steps wearing coats. Cut to a long shot of a man in military hat, a woman in a red coat, a small girl, and another man in a black coat walking towards the camera away from a building with arched openings. Another long shot of them in what looks like a park walking towards the camera on a cement pathway in a grassy area with lamp posts. Cuts to a long shot of two young men with military hats and coats standing in front of a white building. Cuts to a shot of one of the men standing in front of a brick structure in the grass with trees. He walks towards the camera then parallel to the screen in front of the white house from before. Long shot of a group of children walking from the left side of the screen towards the camera with a building to the right. A family or two with very small children walk afterwards. Cut to a long shot on a residential street where the children are lined up and grouped together; many are holding pieces of paper. Camera pans to the left and a man takes his baby from his wife into his arms. Cut to a medium long shot of a soldier in dress uniform and a woman smiling for the camera. Long shot of a group of girls in school uniforms walking axially towards the camera. Cut to a different scene where two girls are walking onto a grass lawn in front of a brick building (presumably a school) and onto the sidewalk.
