“How can you think if you cannot speak?” Four kids, age 5 to 15, share their thoughts on aphasia and show us how they communicate and interact with someone, who has difficulties expressing themselves verbally.

In January 2020, Marita won the pitching contest during the Kortfilmkonventet (short film forum) in Trondheim, which was a great start for the development of the film.
