On an empty beach, 5 kids talk and talk, over the beach lenght. They are young but not dumb. Mean but not beamed. And cute but not stupid.
As Ariel arrives at school, he notices that his friend Dudu is absent. The reason? He’s come down with a cold. In the mind of a child whose main task is going to school, being absent can signal full permission for playtime. And who doesn’t want to play all day? Getting a cold may be commonplace for some children, but not for Ariel.
