The physical and spiritual adventure of a group of youngsters affected by autism and their tutors who decided to undergo “the journey”. Together, during the spring of 2021, they traveled 180 kilometers on the via Francigena to reach Rome where they met the Pope. A real adventure, the first in the lives of our protagonists, where they discovered independence. We followed them, starting from their training until they reached their destination, on a path of personal growth, through thick and thin, fun, relationships, confrontations and falling in love.
Our journey, parallel to the protagonist's, will be a deep dive into the world of autism. We will delve into their stories, to tear apart the prejudices and preconceptions that wrongly surround these people. The tutors will have to "steal" every moment of this journey full of life to express the intensity of a route, that starts from the via Francigena, full of symbolism. Long ago pilgrims departed from the most remote towns to “conquer” the center, the heart of everything. Today we know the heart of everything can only be found inside people.
