Among day care facilities for elementary school students, Tsubasa
Club in Sapporo is a unique place. Children with and without disabilities
play together after school, dancing folk dances, spinning tops, playing
kendama. Tumbling around in total disorder in the tiny space, their
brimming energy and their egalitarian sense of association with each
other make this short film a revelation. First film by the cinematographer
of Living on the River Agano.
