This documentary is about the baby's vast world of perceptions, from intra-uterine life to the first months that follow birth, as seen unveiled by scientists today.

From the seventh month of pregnancy, the foetus five senses are already developed. In its closed universe, the baby begins an extraordinary exploration using all its senses. How does the baby perceive its world and ours? What are its capacities for learning and memorizing? What happens when it enters our world of air and gravity, a world that has no possible comparison with the womb where all its needs were satisfied almost instantly? With great precision, and with a certain awe and wonder, this documentary reviews current knowledge of the baby's experiences and faculties, before and after its birth.
