Presents an annual Adelaide folk event - the Christmas pageant - through the eyes of a small boy. The procession winds its way through crowds of people, with no commentary, only the sounds of Adelaide enjoying the occasion. The pageant is sponsored and presented by a department store but without direct advertising.
