I wanted to make this film because I felt the need to have a creative retreat while working in an English call center. It was my first job and the experience changed me; I learned a lot about myself and the choices I have on hand to make my life possible in Bucharest. It's an attempt to self-fictionalise a few days in the summer of 2013. I tried to look from the outside, at my own hang-up of finding a job in the field in which I formed: an artistic one. This frustration moulded on an atypical character, who walks along the barriers of social anxiety, synchronized with me. A kind of sympathetic embarrassment settles on the crude title AUTISM - and indirectly on the character. Yet the reason for this sequence of frames, no matter how they are, lies in not wanting to let the interior and exterior of the person/ character break apart and become nothing.
