David is an autist. He's 34 years old and lives shuted in himself but he needs the others. He says : " I don't have people enough... I need two David like me."
"The spring's backing off" tells the David s story with all his people. When you speak with David, you're meeting his family : Peter, Orlando, John, Anthony, Rachel...
"The spring's backing off" is not the observation of a strange and different world. It's a meeting : characters call out to the film's director and present him their real life, where they are able to escape to the autism.
This movie is trying to find a common language who allows the dialogue, a common language into the community of Corry's center.
