[Anthony · Rating 3 out of 5]

Life in the city during the summer is clamorous, hot, crowded, noisy, and non-stop. A young lad seeks a place to get away from it all, and spends time on the roof top with an old man and his pigeons. One day the old and and the lad spend the day at the beach like the old did when was younger. This urban tale is an interesting look at life among the crowd.

[Debby]

Jerry wants to have some open air and fresh breeze instead of being cooped up in the city. His friend - an old man who keeps pigeons on the roof - takes him to the beach for the day, which he enjoyed. Very realistic pictures and sentiment.
