Can art bring out the inner world of an autistic boy? Can it become a tool to transform a complicated existential situation into something positive? And when this happens, in what form does it manifest? Above all: is it possible to represent the inherently inscrutable soul of a young adult like Filippo? The documentary “I Mille Cancelli di Filippo” follows the life of autistic artist Filippo Zoi and strives to portray a faithful depiction of the complex personality of this young man and the community that surrounds him in a virtuous and inclusive relationship. Our world is also Filippo’s world; everything contributes to forming the mirror in which his soul is reflected—a soul that seems to grow larger and more impenetrable with each passing day.
