Hawaii, United States of America (USA). Various shots show middleaged Hawaiian women in flowery dresses and hats playing guitars and ukuleles while hula girls in grass skirts dance before them. Elderly women sit on mats in a village and thread flower garlands (leis) and weave mats. A Hawaiian man and woman travel down a water lilycovered river in a traditional boat (he paddles it along). Several shots show an unnamed city; a car park ( ); American and Hawaiian flags flying; an open air shopping mall called Ala Moana.
