LAST FEW TICKETS

Dive into a vividly creative, proudly neurodivergent world shaped by autistic viewpoints and sensory experiences.

A young man, passionate about B-movies, hosts a screening of an animated zombie horror film. In a different setting, a woman in a medical office carefully fills out questionnaires and takes an eye-tracking test. Meanwhile, an office worker uses blue earphones to drown out the overwhelming noise of their work, the gym, and the pub, but finds peace in the quiet sanctuary of their home. Overseeing everything is a mysterious yet compassionate dog-spirit, who gently watches over all disabled individuals.

Through these seemingly distinct stories, the film explores the threads that connect them, revealing the shared experiences of neurodivergent people. Imaginative and thoughtful, this narrative invites viewers to see the world through a new lens, celebrating the diversity of perception and the inner lives of its characters and offering an empathetic exploration of how they navigate a world not always designed for them.
