Baby Robert

Like all healthy babies, Robert has come kicking and screaming into the world with only half a brain. He’s totally helpless — he can’t even see or hear properly. Body Story joins Robert for the first four months of his life, using computer graphics to take us deep inside his head, where an army of brain cells are completing a massive construction project. If all goes to plan, they will give him control of his body and ultimately allow him to reach out into the world around him.
