Based on the groundbreaking book written by Naoki Higashida when he was only 13 years old, this extraordinary film takes a sensorial deep dive into the complex interior mind and fascinating daily experience of the lives of five non-speaking autistic young people scattered across the planet. Luminous and exquisitely wrought, this sensitive and empathic multi-portrait offers a highly cinematic portal into a rich human experience that will be new, profound, and illuminating for many.
