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 heroes of the film are two families who bring up children with autism spectrum disorders. In the center of the plot are two mothers, with their sons (10 and 15 years old). Women are friends, share difficulties and joys, support each other, although they live in different countries. 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.
