The film opens with a Whitman line and follows a farm that serves as a summer camp and school. Children as young as two explore freely—climbing, swinging, bathing a dog and learning to live together. A tree‑house sparks imagination; they visit a neighboring farm, play with animals, ride a tractor, offering a safe, wonder‑filled refuge.
