SYNOPSIS
Two families in Rome and Kyiv, raising children with autism spectrum
disorders. In the center of the plot — two mothers, with their sons
(10 and 15 years). Women are friends, share difficulties and joys,
support each other from a distance.
Autism is not a disease, but a condition with which a person is born.
Autism is a lifelong feature of the development of the brain, which
affects communication and relationships with other people, on
perception and understanding of the surrounding world.
The film about autism addresses not only the community whose families
it has touched, but society as a whole. It is an invitation to each
spectator to understand, tolerance and expand the outlook.
