In a small town in New England, a group of young siblings faces the realities of life as they navigate the transition from childhood to adolescence. With the death of their mother, the kids are left in the care of their strict grandfather, who has very conventional ideas about how they should live and be educated. However, the siblings, each with their own personality and dreams, struggle to find their place in a world that seems increasingly complicated.
Throughout the film, the siblings form bonds with other neighborhood kids, creating a diverse group that shares adventures, mischief, and life lessons. While one of the brothers dreams of becoming an artist, another is drawn to science; together, they discover the importance of friendship and solidarity in difficult times. But their joy is threatened by the grandfather's strict rules, who only seeks the best for them, even though his understanding of the modern world is limited.
With moments of comedy and drama, the story explores themes such as family, sacrifice, and the search for identity. As the young protagonists face various challenges, they learn that growing up sometimes means leaving childhood behind and embracing what the future holds. With a tender and moving narrative, the film captures the essence of what it means to be young and the breeze of freedom that comes with it.
