A short film about a black boy from a tobacco farm going to the beach in the South Carolina in the 1950s, during the Jim Crow era of enforced racial segregation. 60 years later, the boy, Dr. Ambrose Jearld, is a marine scientist for a government headed by an African-American.
The animators Chip Moore and Jon Goldman composite their animation on antique postcards and photographs to illustrate Dr. Jearld's recollections of going to the beach at the only beach open to him on the Carolina coast.
