A hedgehog in the light, the shadows of a hand on a round belly, a bouquet of carnations, a bowl of tangerines, the bathing of an infant under a medlar tree, the jumps in his mother's arms, the first steps in the grass, bus rides, flowering trees, the child's runs in the countryside, shy glances at the camera, the return of the seasons, the shadows of palm trees, still lifes, laughter and shopping. This film is the filmed diary of a child's first three years.
