A boy with Asperger�s Syndrome tells about his dream to become a star actor in Hollywood. His mother tells about her life with a different child. The script is based on discussions with a young boy, who has Asperger�s Syndrome. It is fictive dialogue between a boy and his mother. They never meet on the screen, but are projected next to each other. The work can be presented as an installation with two channels, where the boy is projected on the left side and the mother on the right. It can also be viewed as a one channel piece.
