Plot Summary: Iris has synesthesia. She has no idea. At first, she simply thinks that everyone sees colors and shapes when music plays, but by the time she's a teenager, it's clear that others don't understand. Struggling to downplay the way she experiences the world, and worrying what it might mean to be different, the young artist is at war with herself until she meets a new friend - and he sees the colors too. An ensemble chorus of colors bring Iris' experience of discovering her neurodivergence to life in this triumphant, visually stunning coming-of-age story.
Learning About Synesthesia:
Synesthesia (pronounced sin-uh-STHEE-zhuh) is when your brain mixes up your senses in a special way. For example, someone might see colors when they hear music, taste flavors when they hear certain words, or see specific colors when they look at letters or numbers It’s not pretend! Their brain really connects those senses automatically! A famous example is the artist Billie Eilish, who has said she sees colors and shapes when she hears music. Some people with synesthesia say certain numbers always feel like a specific color, like the number 5 always being red.
