A School in Cerro Hueso

View on the Pragda STREAM site

After numerous rejections, Julia and Antonio, Ema's parents, finally find a safe place for their daughter, who has been diagnosed on the autism spectrum. In the caring community of the new primary school located in a small town on the banks of the Paraná River, Ema can observe and explore the world in silence and at her own pace.

Based on the director's own family history, Betania Cappato's film astutely and tenderly chronicles Ema's small steps, which transform into magical moments, where solidarity appears in the least expected ways.
