Category: Edition 2012

Synopsis
“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.
