Identical twin brothers, now successful artists, recall the summer of 1948 when they were eight years old and their Japanese village was a place full of wonder and magic. "The brats," as they are known, spend their days skinny dipping, fishing for eels and chasing birds in the woods --- when they're not busy causing mischief at home or at school. This visually ravishing film follows their adventures with humor and Zen-like clarity --- powerfully evoking the boys' vibrant sensations and emotions.
