Il ragazzo che sapeva volare (1986)
Milly, una giovane orfana di padre, fa amicizia con Eric, suo coetaneo affetto da autismo, privo di genitori. Il ragazzo, prigioniero del suo mutismo, è convinto di saper volare. L'amicizia tra i due si trasforma in dolce complicità. Rinchiuso in manicomio per essere curato, Eric fugge nella sua soffitta, dove lo raggiunge Milly, inseguito da poliziotti e infermieri. Saliti sul tetto della scuola, i due ragazzi spiccano il volo e tra la meraviglia generale sorvolano i compagni, poi Eric si stacca da Milly, non prima di averle detto due o tre parole, le prime della sua vita.
