Two boyhood friends from different backgrounds reflect back on their childhood growing up during World War II. Both are nearly 30 years old and share a common mistrust of the older generation and their traditional expectations. One is from a wealthy family, while his friend has had to work all his life and now is a successful journalist. The two friends comment that they feel like foxes who look for the opportunity to escape. The wealthy man sees no alternative other than to move to Australia and start a new life.
