Jeroen Jeroen 2012

Directed by Peter Lataster

The 15-year-old intellectually disabled Jeroen lives with his mother. During the day he is in a shelter. He spends the weekend with his father. Because of his autistic disorder, Jeroen is very sensitive to stimuli and he always needs care and guidance. Directors Peter Lataster and Petra Lataster-Czisch follow the life of the adolescent, his mother Anita and his regular companion Kevin for four months. They are filmed close to the skin and without comment they show how Jeroen systematically tests his surroundings.
