Lugano's Alliance Française invites you to watch the movie "Babies"

"Making the decision to have a child - it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking outside your body."
Elizabeth Stone

Here is an invitation to watch the movie "BABIES" in the presence of its director, Thomas Balmès.
This event is is organized by the Alliance Française de Lugano but you don't need to be a member to be part of it. Friends and children are welcome. You don't need to understand French either because this beautiful documentary movie doesn't have words.

"Everybody loves... BABIES. This visually stunning new movie simultaneously follows four babies around the world - from first breath to first steps. From Mongolia to Namibia to San Francisco to Tokyo, BABIES joyfully captures on film the earliest stages of the journey of humanity that are at once unique and universal to us all. "
