Ruatoria, 1964.
Scene outside a billiards hall in Ruatoria. An elderly Maori man sits on a bench against the wall of the billards hall, rolling a cigarette. Five Maori children, three boys and two girls, sit on either side of him, watching him make the cigarette. Two of the children drink soft drinks and one eats an ice cream.
