Produced to contribute to an UN initiative, this short feature sees a young child sitting on the lap of one of two sound effects artists in a radio studio and then takes us on an animated journey as this mischievous and curious baby manages to get itself passed from pillar to post, anonymously, unable to find anyone who wished to keep it. It can be a little poignant at times. People would rather focus on their work, or keep their pet or a romanic liaison - indeed just about any excuse to, well, be excused. Funny how it's usually those who have the least that give most... Quite a sad indictment, really - but nicely animated.
