Description

Film featuring a young child - sometimes along with a friend - playing with her toys and then building sandcastles on a beach. Scenes from a fancy dress event in a field follow - people are seen fooling arund in some fairly bizarre costumes and indulging in a blindfold boxing match and playing a game involving fishing for bottles which are standing in the field. Closes with shots of a young girl playing with her toys.
