This looks really powerful. I like the use of the animation. Ami is fortunate not only that he is an animator, but that this vocation of his lends itself so well to illustrating his internal feelings in a documentary like this.

I was startled, however, by how thin his limbs are. Are Is there some reason for this? To my knowledge, for example, Stephen Hawking's limbs do not look like this. Don't paralyzed have people to exercise their limbs to keep them from atrophying? And what about sores? Doesn't that happen from lack of use?

I hope to see this film when it comes out. The title is appropriate, but another one might've been Looking for Dr. Cordova. (I'd imagine that they wouldn't want that because it might imply the focus is not on Ami.)
