The Silence of the World

Leïla raises her autistic son, Kahil, alone. Exhausted. Isolated. Abandoned by school. Shunned by institutions. No way out. She leaves him with Bojan. The father he’s never known. Bojan lives on the margins. Helping an old shepherd. Fixing engines. Overhauling small planes at a country airfield. Kahil arrives. Bojan freezes. Stiff. Thrown into a situation he didn’t choose. Not ready. The day moves on. Water. Machines. Repeated gestures. Silence. Slowly, a connection emerges. Fragile. Threatened. But real.
