The film gives people who have been diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum, more specifically, with Asperger syndrome, the chance to speak. They offer profound reflections on what isolates them from the so-called world out there, how their social handicap and the difficulties in communicating with others lead them to experience the disturbance as a prison. The limitations as well as the compulsion are reflected and intensified at the visual level: wooden colored blocks are, constantly rearranged by hands covered by rubber gloves. It is a symbol of the inability to grasp the structure of a social situation (Anne Katrin Feßler)
