A teenage girl on the autism spectrum plunges into regular education.

synopsis

This hybrid documentary tells the story of Mona, an imaginative teenager who struggles with autism spectrum disorder, just like her older brother. She dreams of becoming more social, and so switches from special classes to regular education. This opens up a wider world for her to discover.
Deze hybride documentaire vertelt het verhaal van Mona, een fantasierijke tiener die net zoals haar boer, kampt met ASS. De film toont hoe haar droom om socialer te worden haar doet overstappen naar het gewone onderwijs en hoe ze hiermee de wijde wereld ontdekt.
