Cameras supposedly don't lie, yet in this lovely, wordless story the photos from a camera found by a boy on a beach are hard to believe--fantastical creatures, underwater realms, seashell cities. What to do with such a magical device? One shot gives the clue: a self-portrait of a child holding a self-portrait of a child, and so on, back through the generations. The boy tosses the camera into the ocean, to become flotsam on the imagination of another youth on another shore.
