“I’m La. I laugh when I see Ma. We march to the beat of our own drum. When I grow up, I want to be like her and listen to sad music during the day. Music that has a little bit of beauty in it. Ma says that’s what it’s about. This little bit of beauty that makes the day a good one.”

A poetic representation of the inner world of a girl with Down syndrome. La catches stars, which she needs to live, when her mother enters the room or when voices tell her wonderful stories that no-one else can hear. But eventually there is so much anger that not even the stars can help.
