The documentary watches children in their day nursery and goes with them from age ten months until 2 . years. The film shows their learning ability, their pleasure of discovery and their excitement to design when they get on their way. Except for a few statements of nurseries, head of department and parents, the audience witness patient and intensive observation of the small children and see how they undergo joy, happiness or pain, often with a laugh, but sometimes also with tears. By watching them we share their experiences and development steps up to knowledge and ability. Likewise, the film takes a closer look at the attitude and behaviour of the nurseries: the way they accompany the children, also challenge them, never spoon-feed, always turned to the children and be attentive. So the nurseries succeed in an impressive way to encourage them on their way and build a deep stable confidence at the same time.

...I wish I had a real lover... ...I wish I had a husband, a child and a family of my own... ...but this cruelworld will never let that happen. These are the words one hears when it becomes intimate betweenyou and \"Khusras\", a strongly in-grouped community in Pakistan. A country ruled by a mix of religiousfanaticism, military and under-grown democratic elite. KISS THE MOON is a passionate attempt tocreate an intimate contact with the Khusra community, to comprehend how it feels to live in a worldwhere life, in a very black and white way, is always either masculine or feminine.The ultimate goal of the film is to cross the boundaries of gender and talk about the issues of \"being\",and of the endless desire to be loved and to love.
