Tono is quiet.
Tono only watches the birds flying far away.
Tono is my brother.
I always wonder why Tono loves silence.
Why doesn’t Tono play? Why doesn’t he say what he feels?
Everyone tries to understand Tono.
Mom cooks delicious meals.
Dad sings Rock’n Roll!
Grandma tells stories.
Lea dyes her hair blue.
And Zeca always purrs lovingly for him.
But Tono seems not to notice anyone. And yet everyone pays attention to him. Even though I’m here too.

Tono is a seemingly invisible, quiet little boy, a mystery himself and almost completely unreachable. That is why it is difficult for his sibling to accept him. Sometimes he is jealous and angry about all the attention Tono receives. But deep down, perhaps more than anything, he longs for Tono to finally notice him.

A tale about the desire to connect and about understanding, told through the relationship of a very special pair of siblings.
