Torsten Ricardo E., 31 years old, artist, actor, and passionate subway passenger. The film records his many subway rides, and traces the story of Torsten’s life. As a child he was locked away in a dark shed for eight years; a children’s home and psychiatric ward followed. “It’s the others who are disabled, knowledge disabled, because they do not recognize your abilities,” Torsten says. Rarely has a film taken such a tender approach to thoughts and feelings of a person who is usually deliberately overlooked.
