1978 · 20 min · Documentary

Narcisa Hirsch was born on 16 January under the sign of Capricom. These diaries labelled Capricorn 78 show an approach to everyday life with unusual tenderness and beauty; a baby bird that a child lovingly cares for; a calf being born: cats and dogs: a house in the snow; a fire, Narcisa on the grass; Narcisa swimming; a full life.
