A network of audiovisual correspondences between mother and son through time, autism, and the screen. Since Clovis lost speech at the age of two, his mother has used audiovisual media to decipher his idiosyncratic language. In her attempts to find reciprocity with Clovis’ more-than-verbal means of expression, Nathalie has accumulated a vast archive which tests the limits of neurotypical understandings of language and cinema. Combining Nathalie’s corpus with recordings from the present, the film is an ode to their labors of care.
