a delightful, interesting and thoughtful award winning short.

this was the directorial debut of the marvellously talented dyan cannon which basically deals with the subject of pre adolescent sexuality which is sensitively and intelligently handled. the excellant allen garfield provides a lovely cameo along with gary lockwood and a group of children who portray the main characters. well worth seeing.
