A worthy movie, 20 May 2008
10/10
Author: niklas43 from Denmark

I randomly saw this movie because i couldn't find anything else interesting to watch. Well as it turned out i loved this movie, it is about an autistic girl, that starts to focus on sound. (for autistic people they often base fears and joy and other stuff on on thing that they have put focus on, in this case sound). This makes her afraid of flying insects like bees and such as they are hard to hear how they move throw the air, instead of like a ball. She starts training for martial arts, and the rest is for you to watch :D

Over all its a good movie with some thought to it, and some amazing fighting scenes, no matter if you are a fan of it or not.
