Synopsis:
Starting out as a personal query into finding out what is the disorder which affects 10-year-old Alyana, the filmmaker’s grandniece, the film turns into a journey which covers the past, present and future of autism in the Philippines. It tells not only about the nature of autism but of the plight and struggle of persons with autism, the silent grief of their families and others who are involved in their lives.
