Matthew's Laws
( De Regels van Matthijs )

Marc Schmidt
2012 - 70 min - HD - Couleur - Pays-Bas

Matthew, partially autistic, is desperately trying to put some order in the chaos that surrounds him. His house is his world. Here he finds peace and balance. But when he is obliged to relate with the outside world, explosive confrontations can happen. The filmmaker, his childhood friend, films him from a point of view that expresses at once distance and complicity, producing consequences of the wildest extremes
