I've watched this film quite a few times now, sometimes as background noise while I play with my own baby. To watch the subtle differences and similarities between these global families makes one realize that, while we all may raise our children differently, the love there is the same. Each baby has his or her own experiences and discoveries which delight the viewer in their innocence. There's Hattie with her headstrong demeanor despite being born so small, Bayar with his curiosity and penchant for getting dirty, Mari's budding independence, and Ponijao's adventurous attitude. The music by itself is heartwarming and sounds almost like a lullaby in its own right. It's calming and, I'll admit, brought a tear to my eye more than once when paired with the sweet images of sleeping babies and their crooning parents. The love in this film is overwhelming and, while no parent is perfect, this film serves to show that children are a blessing and that every loving parent is the same, no matter what part of the world you come from.
