Synopsis:
Sea. Sand. Sun. Two children meet on a beach. The boy is black, the girl white. At eight, life is simple, filled with sandcastles, jumping along the ocean’s edge and chasing seagulls. A feeling of love draws the children closer, and a seashell seals their dreams about their life as one after they grow up. But for adults it's different. For their parents lives, is not that simple. It’s complicated by reality. As the children enjoy each playful moment together, their parents are caged in a grown-up world. And all their predicaments inadvertently destroy the children's paradise – and their seashell washes into the sea.
