The Red Carpet

The autistic author Axel Brauns tells the story of how he has conquered and still battles his present developmental disabilities in everyday life, in order to fit into a so-called “normal world”. After having completed a German bestseller novel, he now turns to film as a creative medium. Directing his first 90-minute film poses a completely new personal challenge, which eventually leads him on to The Red Carpet. A touching, yet humorous documentary about autism and the oddities of normalcy.
