Las letras de Jordi

Synopsis

Jordi was born 51 years ago with cerebral palsy but doesn't consider himself a handicapped person. Even though he isn't able to speak, he communicates using a cardboard alphabet. When he was 21, he heard God talking to him for the first time; today, however, after moving out of his parents’ house into a care home, he no longer feels his divine presence, only a lonely silence. A film about the love of God and the speech of a free man.
