“Sand is an obvious metaphor since I am not stable; it takes only a tiny impulse and my sense of being crumbles. Sometimes I feel just like that, as though I’ve fallen into a thousand bits”. A perceptive and compassionate incursion into the hidden world of a teenage girl suffering from autism and multiple disabilities. A piece of imaginative film-making with an ethereal quality provided by the incorporation of sand animation within the documentary footage. A plea for documentary film as the courage to go beyond the surface of lives and things. (Adina Brădeanu)
