SYNOPSIS

​

Taking a scientific and sensitive approach, this documentary invites us to discover an illness which still is an enigma today: autism. Embedded in music therapy workshops conducted by a jazz bass player, the camera guides us towards a special meeting with autistic children in great difficulty. Moments of emotion, sometimes of pleasure – the responses to music are registered as signs of a possible exchange with the children, to try and pull them out of their isolation. Music appears as a slight bridge between worlds so stubbornly kept apart by handicap.
