Some years ago, I saw the documentary movie “Babies” (Bébés), released in 2010 by French director and producer Thomas Balmès. At that time I thought it is a nice, cute movie about little kids and their everyday life routine, but now I know that is more than that. It is about cultures and differences.

I think I’ll watch it again over several years. The film follows the story of 4 humans in their first year of life. These little kids are not commonly picked, but they have something in common: they live far from each other, in different parts of the world, in different economical areas and different cultures. Ponijao from Opuwo, Namibia. A little girl that has eight brothers and sisters. Her family is part of Himba tribe and they live in a village. Mari from Tokyo, Japan. She is the single child of two loving parents that live in Shibuya, a crowded, metropolitan area. Bayar from Byanchandmani, Mongolia. He lives with his mother, father and older brother at their farm. Hattie from San Francisco, California lives with her mother and father and she has a “green” lifestyle. After introducing to you the main characters, you can already visualize h
