Radically subjective and original, the film explores other forms of perception, communication and presence. It immerses us in alternative realities that challenge our usual notions of normality. The protagonists are autistic artists who bring their own forms of expression, interests and perceptions to the cinematic narrative. In several interwoven chapters, a kaleidoscopic collage of portraits of neurodiverse realities emerges. The film questions how perception works beyond neurotypical norms and invites us to see the world from a new, fluid perspective.
