Summary

Pathe synopsis: It’s always spring - somewhere. Indeed spring is a state of mind much more than a season. Spring in Thailand means sinuous and symbolic dancing at open-air restaurants. It’s different from spring in Czechoslovakia, the Communist country where they still celebrate it with Easter eggs. The boys of the village give the girls they fancy a well-water drenching to show their affection. In our playground island of Bermuda, spring means flowers and gay parades. Springtime is unmistakeable, international and it expresses itself differently where and whenever it occurs. Back in Czechoslovakia, spring is wedding time. And there, behind the Iron Curtain, the young people put on traditional costume and get themselves married almost always - in church.
