Plot
A mother takes her children for a walk, lifts her baby girl out of the buggy and gently sets her down to the ground. She then moves a few steps away and calls her name, to demonstrate that her baby can walk.
Sinekatalog’s take
A tiny domestic scene in which a mother coaxes her baby to walk. Barely a minute of everyday tenderness, it shows why early audiences loved seeing their own world on screen.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
