Millions of children with autism struggle to make eye contact with others; Jong-Hyun Kim, an 11-year-old boy from South Korea, is one of them. The mother feels isolated from her son. She's like a stranger to him, and her gaze, longing to connect with her son, has been left unanswered. However, Jong-Hyun begins to look at his mom through the lens of a camera, using "Look At Me" app. "Look At Me" is a program developed for children with autism to improve eye-contact. Jong-Hyun keeps on taking pictures of his mom's face, looking at her eyes. Taking pictures of her, he steps towards his mom, as if he's finally getting closer to his mom. A panning shot reveals Jong-Hyun and his mom after 8 weeks of training with "Look At Me" They are sitting down, facing each other, Looking into each other's eyes. They can now connect as a mother and a son. Her wish has finally come true.
