They are driven by forces we are unable to control. No one knows what they actually experience or why they are so much affected by the Moon. They live among us, entrenched in their everyday hell on earth – families and children with severe autism. This form of autism is called low-functional. It is one of the most demanding and worst manageable health impairments. Those who suffer from the disorder have great difficulties to become part of our society. The documentary portrays four families with children of various ages and their situation. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)

It's powerful! It doesn't necessarily have to pressure and squeeze tears from you with sentimental shots. It's an accurately painted picture of the fact that people who have an autistic person at home have a halo above their heads, but also a good dose of humanity. The purpose of the documentary is to shake things up that have been stagnating for years, whether it's a societal debate and perception, or the role of the state, which not only doesn't know how to deal with some people but often refuses to lend a helping hand. It doesn't make sense to criticize the absence of confrontation with anyone from the "other side." That will only happen if someone inexplicably kicks this ball out of bounds.
