Babies

"With wit, tenderness and a keen eye for the fledgling signs of intelligence and sociability, director Thomas Balmès documents the first year in the lives of four infants from different parts of the world. From birth to first steps (though passing quickly through the first few messy months) we watch as they begin to explore their very different worlds in very similar ways. Without commentary or translation, Balmès takes us close into each baby’s world in beautifully composed images fixed firmly on their tiny forms and adorable, questing faces."
