The Director films his childhood buddy, Matthew, who suffers from autism and desperately tries to create order in the chaos around him. Followed closely in his privacy, Matthew's explosive confrontations with the outside world are alternated with observations and personal confessions. Little by little, the film unravels the complex way of Matthew's thinking and shows the catastrophic consequences his disorder may eventually have for him.
