A monochrome animation - rather annoyingly scored - that features a pair of young boys in spinal braces being cared for by their loving parents. The animation is finely drawn and indicates not just the family but the seasons passing before one of them is rather brutishly treated before being accepted into what looks like classroom where others - of all ages - are similarly "under the boot". There is no dialogue, just a general audio akin to a large group of nesting birds. Clearly the director wishes to make a point about social conformity and each having their own place but to be honest, I could have done with (much) less of the music which did rather spoil the simplicity for me.
