Description

Imagine being trapped inside a Disney movie and having to be informed about life most commonly from animated characters dancing across a screen of color. A fantasy? A nightmare? That is the true-life story of Owen Suskind, the son of the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ron Suskind and his wife, Cornelia. An autistic boy who couldn’t speak for years, Owen memorized dozens of Disney movies, turned them into a language to precise love and loss, kinship, brotherhood.The circle of relatives was once forced to change into animated characters, communicating with him in Disney dialogue and song; until all of them emerge, together, revealing how, in darkness, we all literally need stories to continue to exist.
