[Overview] A day in the life of a 10-year-old boy spending his summer vacation at his grandparents' rural home in 1985. A young uncle visiting home records with a handheld video camera from a distance without speaking. 480p, 16:9, 15 seconds. 7 shots (approx. 2s each) with hard cuts; all 7 locations are different. No transitions or fades. The subject does nothing for the camera: no eye contact, no showing objects, no waving, no posing. Immersed in play. Fragments cut from the middle of daily life, not acting. No dialogue, lines, or narration.

[Subject] Definition of beauty: A Japanese boy of child-actor caliber whom everyone says will be handsome in the future. A child's face the moment they enter water is best. Face: short black hair with bedhead, thick eyebrows, sharp double-lidded eyes, peeling skin on the bridge of the nose from sunburn (realistic skin texture), white teeth, a small scab on the chin. Clothing (everyday wear): white tank top (slightly yellowed from washing), green shorts, straw hat (frayed brim), white towel around the neck, bare feet in rubber sandals. Habits: pushing the hat back, glancing at the younger brother. Face, hair, and clothing are identical in all shots.

[Characters] Younger brother (6 years old): round face, buzzed head, white tank top and red shorts. Mimics everything the older brother does. Easily scared. No one looks at the camera.
