Here's a 1965 home movie of an American suburban home in Miami, Florida. 

Clip begins with pan shots of a living room. A woman sits on a sofa while a man sits on a wooden rocking chair. Another woman, who is in the middle of combing her hair, peaks out from a room's doorway, smiling for the camera in a cutesy kind of way. 

Later, we see these three same individuals dressed up and sitting in the living room, though a fourth person, a man, eventually joins the trio. The men are dressed like missionaries, like they are Jehovah's Witnesses. One of the men lights up a cigarette. 

Later, the same man, the smoker, lights up a cigarette in the home's driveway outside; the day appears to appears to be a muggy one. The smoker is joined by a man. The smoker later walks down the home's driveway with a woman who is wearing a scarf over her head. The woman plays cutesy with the camera, just as she did when she was peaking out from a room earlier. 

The woman and two men walk toward the camera in locked arms. All three are smiling. It looks like they are dressed up for some special event. 

A plane passes over head in cloudy skies. 

On a sunny morning, a woman in a dress exits the home, waves at the camera, and proceeds to a white, 4-door vehicle that is parked in the home's driveway. She opens the car's passenger door and points to the sky. The camera cuts to a plane passing nearby overhead; palm trees are seen at the bottom of the frame.
