A chauffeur is seen arriving at a house to collect parents and their baby, Les Levan. They are driven to the grandparents house where they spend time together in the garden. The family are seen arriving at a church for Les' christening. The film cuts to when Les is slightly older, sitting up in his pram in the garden.
