Diario de Una Palabra

Leo, my seven-year-old son, was diagnosed with autism at the age of one. Whatever goes through his mind is an enigma to me as he has never told me a single word. Somehow his existence gives me deep thoughts and constant questioning. This film narrates my search for his voice through a record of our daily life, evidencing our process in the development of communication, but it mainly talks about how my quest ends up challenging my concepts about family, the expectations we have about others and the importance of our individualism in a society, in which we are all governed by the same pattern. Those are concepts that I must rethink at the age of 37 when I had already made my own idea of the world, love, and society. I have allowed myself to unlearn in order to learn again a different way of living, under a new wonderful perspective that my son Leo has brought to my life.
