Walking home, reliving memories and lost in colour, this is the story of Arthur, a 22 years old guy, with Asperger's Syndrome.

Walking home, reliving memories and lost in colour, this is the story of Arthur, a 22 years old guy, with Asperger's Syndrome. His condition leads him to develop an obsession with the work of Van Gogh. Arthur is so enchanted by the Dutch painter that he constantly looks for inspiration in daily life. While out strolling in his neighbourhood, Arthur wanders among colours, patterns, shapes and lines finding inspiration for his own paintings. However, one day, this obsession with detail causes him to get lost. Fortunately, his neighbours all appreciate his uniqueness and help out. Arthur's parents, frustrated and worried for their only child, create a path of coloured stones to help him find his way back home. They forge a new relationship with him using art as a medium to communicate.
