How a Baby Comes Into the World

A film for children about how a baby comes into this world. The sexual revolution happened in Latvia thanks to Māris Putniņš, an artist and soon-to-be among the most visible Latvian puppet animation specialists. In 1989, he published a series of drawings showing that babies aren’t brought by storks or found in cabbage patches in the famous children’s magazine Zīlīte. This popular-science film by Roze Stiebra recreates this long-kept-from-children truth on the big screen.

I Have My Daddy, Too

The literal translation of the title of this movie is: I also have a dad. Although this movie is a family movie, it is actually very good for adults too, particularly for fathers. In the recent Chinese rapid economic boom, everybody is concentrated on making more money by working extra jobs or extra long hours, and as a result, the family is ignored. Of course this applies to both men and women but in China, it is often the man who is the bread winner of the house. This movie advocates the fact that family should not be sacrificed for making financial gains and it did a good job by depicting in the eyes of young kids. - zzmale @ zzmale
