Synopsis
Célian, a 6-year-old kid with Asperger’s Syndrome, splits his time between a harsh and dull reality and a profuse and disjoined imagination in which he takes refuge. He's interested in everything: astronomy, biology, chemistry... but given his young age, all this information tends to collide in his little head. While his life is punctuated by a whole series of rituals, one day something happens that perturbates his well-oiled daily routine, pushing him to take a decision on his own, while respecting his parents’ orders as well as possible. He will set off on an adventure, alone, and at the risk of his own life, and will overcome all the obstacles he will encounter by escaping into his imagination.
Our Review
Look at Me" follows 6-year-old Célian, who has Asperger's Syndrome, as he navigates a world that feels dull to him while his imagination bursts with color. The story invites us to understand the unique way someone with Autism might experience and respond to the world. It's a touching tale of resilience, curiosity, and the power of seeing things through a different lens.
