Why we invent games ?

Adi my 2 year old nephew likes to play whenever we meet. He currently is fascinated by a ball. He quickly makes rules asking me to stand still in a place, stretch my legs so that i look shorter and he throws me the ball. In turn i have to throw him back. He is persistent that i do not budge!

Director: Yojiro Takita Brilliant piece of work. Must see! Daigo Kobayashi is lively and shy! Very quickly the viewer is taken into a strange situation revolving around the idea of death or life around death, what ever you want to call it! Very gripping and thematic, a lot to learn form the traditional cultures and see it operating sometimes in modernity. Now showing on UTV World Movies
