Memories of a children's game in variations. It was played in the 1960s, when there were more children and probably more monks than there are today. The film is set in a suburban housing estate separated from a garden by a wire mesh fence. But there is a gap in this fence, and monks seeking relaxation stroll up and down in the garden.
