Summary
In the 1960s, Gil is eight years old, a boy who is forever locked in
his own dreamworld. A hyper-sensitive, hyper-imaginative child,
he is already in love, with a little girl called Jessica. Gil’s
unusual behaviour is so troubling that he is admitted to a specialist
psychiatric clinic, where experts try to make sense of his condition
and tame his excesses...
