Drona & Me
Drona & ik
Catherine Van Campen / Netherlands / 2009 / 19 min.
Drona loves buses. The nine-year-old knows all the routes and stops in Amsterdam off by heart and is forever putting questions to the city's bus drivers. His older brother Arjun says his incessant queries give him a headache. Otherwise, however, the two get on very well. Drona is autistic, goes to a special school, sometimes his tongue flops about and he doesn't have any friends, so he spends most of his free time with Arjun. This touching film mixes colour and black-and-white sequences and shows that autism is no obstacle to a loving sibling relationship.
