Description
Marcelo Sandoval has autism and has always attended a special school,
an idyllic, protected place. But the summer before high school,
his father demands that Marcelo works in his law firm's mailroom
in order to experience "the real world". There Marcelo meets
Jasmine, beautiful and surprising, and Wendell, the self-satisfied
son of another partner in the firm. He learns about competition
and jealousy, anger and desire. But it's a picture that he finds
in a file - a picture of a girl with a terrible injury - that truly
connects him to the real world: its suffering, its injustice,
and his place in it.
