What the film says

It's a grey bag on a white background. Mel is scrolling at ten at night, looking for something to keep the sun off her kids at the beach. The photo shows a bag.

The description lists the fabric, the weight and the sun rating. She can't picture it. She scrolls past.

The maker sews every one of them in a shed in Queensland, and they work. Nobody can tell from the photo. Now picture the same page with a short film, told from Mel's side.

Saturday morning. The wind picks up, and the umbrella next to them cartwheels down the sand. Mel pulls the shade out of the bag.

Two poles, four pockets filled with sand, and it's up before the kids have their hats on. By lunchtime, the youngest is asleep under it, and the family next door is asking where she got it. Mel watches it once, and buys one.
