A Sparkle in Her Eyes

A documentary A sparkle in her eyes is a portrait of Barbara, a twelve year old girl, who, because of a cerebral palsy - tetra-pharesis, is “confined” into her own body. In addition, the girl can not speak and her only communication with the world around her is enabled by a “communicator”, a little screen which reacts to her eye contact. Barbara emits the extraordinary energy which enchantes everyone who takes time for her. The film reveals Barbara’s big will to live, and also the big willingness and patience of her guardians. The film also answers to numerous (unpleasant) questions about the purpose of the existence of such people and their contribution to us. With the documentary A sparkle in her eyes I would like to shift a tiny part of the perception of difference to the audience, as well as to stir the evaluation and assessment criteria in our personal lives.
