About the film

Director Marc Schmidt films his childhood friend Matthew, who, due to his autistic disorder, desperately tries to create order in the chaos around him. Schmidt follows him close to the heart. Explosive confrontations with the outside world are alternated with stylized observations and personal confessions. Little by little the film unravels Matthew’s complex way of thinking and shows the catastrophic consequences it eventually has for him.

Interesujący film. Stawia pytania o granice wolności, o podstawowe potrzeby człowieka, o granice, które ustanawia wspólczesne, zorganizowane społeczeństwo. (JL05)
