A home move produced by John Scott Forsyth featuring wife Joanna and youngest son Richard on holiday in Britany, France accompanied byA friends. Richard is often accompanied by another boy of a similar age play either at the campsite or on various beaches. The boys are taken on excursions to a fishing port as well as the Carnac Stones and later the Musee Automobile de Bretagne.
A crowd gathers on the deck of a ship as it departs a harbour. Joanna, Richard and a second boy look out to sea from the stern of the ship. A crowd gathers again as the ship approaches a quayside.
At a wet and muddy campside Richard and the second boy walk past their tent and play a game of Petanque or French boules at a nearby area or terrin. The boys walk down to a lake, one carrying an inflatable dinghy on his head. Beside the water a group of children push a small rowing boat into the water, Richard paddles out in the rubber dinghy towards a pontoon. At a nearby playground a boy comes down a zipline, Richard and the other boy goes next.
At a harbour a young woman takes Richard and the other boy for a walk past a moored fishing trawler. Inside a warehouse a fish market, back outside many more fishing boats moored on the water. A steam passenger locomotive comes into a railway station changes to them looking down from a bridge onto fishing boats passing underneath. They take a boat ride across the harbour.
On a beach Richard sits atop a set of steps, at the bottom a woman applying sun cream. On another beach a crowd of sunbathers, Richard, and the other boy race into the sea. Joanna, Richard and the second boy have a picnic on the edge of a beach, back at camp they continue eating beside their tent.
The group walk around the Carnac stones, the boys climb over them. In the grass they look at a grasshopper. The family relax beside the sea and set up a picnic on the sand.
At a fair people enjoy the various rides and attractions, Richard throws darts at a series of balloons. A crowd gathers under umbrellas outside a church as a Catholic procession comes out and makes its way along the street.
Back on the beach Richard sits in a pedalo, his friend joins him heading back out sea. The family have a picnic along a rocky cliffs edge, the boys wonder around the rocky outcrops on the beach below. They appear from an opening in another rocky outcrop at a site in a field.
On another sandy beach the boys play boules before swimming in the sea with Joanna. Back at the campsite the boys begin to construct another tent.
The family visit the Musee Automobile de Bretagne looking around the various vehicles on display. The film ends on the ferry leaving harbour and Joanna and Richard looking out to sea.
