Synopsis: Margreth Olin has spent one year in a kindergarten where the children are allowed to be themselves on nothing but their own terms – and without having to live up to learning targets and other dictates. But why is a natural childhood the exception rather than the rule in our modern welfare system? There are plenty of questions you will ask yourself in Olin's sensual and poetic film, which sets the stage for a major debate, but which itself translates policy into practice. 'Childhood' looks at the world around the small forest kindergarten from the children's own perspective. They document the changing of the seasons, the quarrels and friendships among the children, and the teachers' own understanding of their work. Intimate presence can not be turned into a formula, but Olin still registers with a sensitive and focused camera how the small yet big world in and around the kindergarten gives rise to countless nuances.
