The film, characterised by bright colours typical of Kodachrome, documents an Italian beach bar in the early 1960s, presumably in autumn or spring. The bathing establishment, called ‘GiovanninI,’ offers glimpses of the interior: the counter, a Faema coffee machine, and shelves full of alcohol. The protagonists are the owners, a man and two women with a child, and their customers. Moments of daily life are observed: reading the newspaper, games of table football, aperitifs, and amused smiles in front of the camera.
