The caring yet bustling environment of a kindergarten serves as the anchor for this deep dive into early childhood. Structured to follow the gradual progression of ages on screen, the film takes us into the bubble of various children from ages 1 to 5, at a stage where the world seems to revolve around them, and self-awareness slowly shifts from 'I' to 'We’. Through these rarely filmed moments, human nature gradually takes shape. Kindergarten is the fourth film of a series about life's milestones.
