Childhood. The life in a unique kindergarden
Childhood is a 90 minute full-length documentary about children and how they play on their own terms. An observational documentary that follows the children from 1-7 years of age in Aurora Kindergarten throughout a year.
This life-affirming film draws up a different perspective on what children truly need than what is the current norm. We are allowed to observe the secret play among children, the play we adults don’t always understand.
In the director’s own words, Childhood is a silent protest. It shows a children’s garden where children can be at peace, where the trees teach them to grow at their own pace.
