Movie Description

Il mondo a parte

(2024)

Overview

Dario is a boy with disabilities who cannot speak or walk but can communicate using a computer through Facilitated Communication with the help of Ada, his “facilitator.” He lives alone with his father, who has recently discovered that he has a severe heart condition and will need to undergo delicate heart surgery. Concerned about his son’s future, as the boy could be left alone in the world if the surgery goes wrong, the man turns to a social worker. The social worker advises him to draft a “Life Project” together with Dario, a document that outlines the son’s needs and wishes for the time when the father will no longer be there.
