A film shot in 1957 at the Maudsley Hospital (London) captures the movements of children under observation for atypical behaviour. In the present day, three autistic respondents watch the footage bringing new interpretations. With wit and audacity, the responses forge a new soundtrack from an autistic point of view. As the film unfolds, it takes on the rhythms and repetitions of the children's actions, becoming a playful homage to the body language of autism.
