Description

This documentary examines the unique development and experiences an infant undergoes in the first two years of their lives. This film analyses the remarkable agility and adaptability of an infant's brain often surpassing that of the adult brain. This includes the language of crying, being able to recover from physical trauma and being able to cope with extreme situations. Babies can heal from brain surgery faster than adults because the brain rewires itself and subsequently develops faster. Babies have strong senses and instincts and can survive underwater for long periods of time without suffering brain damage. Furthermore, they have the ability to alternate between senses so they can taste what they see and smell what they hear. This study goes on to look at babies’ reactions and relationships with pets and sheds light onto the babies’ process of learning how to walk.
