The film puts the viewer into the shoes of a small boy living with autism and lets them experience the world through his eyes during a simple trip to a seemingly ordinary shopping center. The film focuses on a key issue for many autistic people, sensory sensitivity.

The director decided that it was important to use a young child actor with autism to enhance the accuracy of the films message. Using an autistic actor presented challenges of its own, which resulted in the director changing certain aspects of his directing technique and communication.
