A baby is born and an old man dies.

When watching this film, I will feel a sense of insignificance as a human being, and I will see all kinds of people living all over the world, their lives, their beliefs, their cultures, and I am just an adult. One of thousands of people. At the same time, you will also feel a deep sense of fate. It may be very negative, but I have to admit that for most people, from the moment of birth, the direction of your future life has been determined. What if I was born in a primitive tribe? What if I was born in a slum? What if I was born in a wealthy area? The difference caused by birth is not something that can be changed with a single "effort".
There is no commentary in this documentary, but it contains discussions on infinite propositions, such as humanities, nature, class, history, geography, universe, etc. Watching this film is definitely a very wonderful experience, it makes you temporarily jump out of the surroundings we are accustomed to Live, look at the world, and experience the collision of different cultures and different lives.
Life is short, birth, old age, sickness and death; life is eternal, the world is reincarnated.
