In Depression-era Alabama, a sentimental boy and his elderly cousin, his closest companion, share their final Christmas together. They scrape together enough money to purchase ingredients for 30 fruitcakes, which they distribute to strangers, including FDR. On Christmas Day, they fly the kites they made together, as Capote's narration recounts their eventual separation, the passing of their beloved dog, and ultimately, the cousin's own demise a few years later.
