Synopsis
The fourth and final part of a film series on sexual education designed for parents of children and teens. The director addressed the taboo issue of sexuality well before the first films made by the champion of sexual education, Oswald Kolle, at the end of the 1960s.
In this episode, a sexual psychologist discusses the development of babies in the womb and the process of birth with a group of five and six year olds. The film then demonstrates how parents should answer their children's "delicate" questions about sexuality.
