Childhood

A warm, soft-spoken and close encounter with the importance of play and fantasy in childhood, and how playing is vital for the well-being of children.”Childhood” tells a crucial story about children’s needs, in a time when playing is increasingly marginalized. ”Childhood” is a full-length feature film about children and how they play on their own terms. An observational documentary that follows the children in Aurora Kindergarten throughout a year. These are children from one to seven years old. It is a quiet and close, life-affirming film, at the same time it will be deeply provocative because it draws up a whole different perspective on what children truly need than what is the current norm.
