SYNOPSIS: An intimate portrait of people with different disabilities. Forming groups according to their specific conditions, they become a living organism, an ensemble whose individual members are complemented by others’ capacities. The camera closely follows their everyday activities, and a simple story serves as an excuse to bring them together. The film is a one-day epic of meanings and lives.
