This touching film interweaves seven parallel stories of children on their way to and from school into one journey. We witness the most intimate moments – between parent and teacher; danger and curiosity – where a child’s sense of independence is developed. It is a meditation on child consciousness, a rite of passage that goes in a blink of an eye to dissolve into adulthood. Side Walk is about the playful, the stressful, the violent, the magical and the mostly thrilling daily journey of childhood.
