Synopsis

Mirco travels a lot for work, while his wife Fatime organizes the demanding family life. Their ten-year-old son Jason is autistic, and his everyday life consists of daily routines and set rules. When Jason's family is suggested to attend a special school, Mirco is also challenged as a parent. He makes a pact with his son: Jason promises to do his best not to be provoked at school if Mirco helps him find his favorite soccer club.
