How is it possible to feel someone elses pain? The hero of this film is an autistic boy. His life is divided between an apartment with peeling walls on the outskirts of a large city, and a mental hospital.

The author, the camera, the hero. The distance between them shrinks with every passing minute, and the author has to enter the shot and become a character in the story.

And yet, it always comes back...
