Serious to the point of tedium

(Note: I'm rating this film 17 years after I saw it; I was 11 at the time.) I was one of several children invited to view this film at the home of Director Dyan Cannon. My main recollection is that every kid there found this to be a boring film; it is definitely not a children's film.

The plot: Childhood curiosity leads four very young boys and girls (Kindergarden age?) to expose themselves to each other in their school bathroom. They are caught by a teacher (or principal -- I can't recall), who notifies their parents. The story then shows how the different families react to the news.

It received an Oscar nomination, so perhaps it's better than my 11-year-old self judged it to be at the time. Or perhaps there was a paucity of entries for "Best Short Film, Live Action" that year.

Trivia
All of the film's original materials were destroyed in a fire at Dyan Cannon's home in the mid-2000s; all that survives is a video transfer of the film.
