"The Pandas Syndrome" is the first narrative film dedicated to PANS/ PANDAS, an autoimmune pediatric disease characterized by the sudden onset of neuro-psychiatric issues.

Little Micol finds herself in a frosty "elsewhere", with weird marks on her body. Looking for clues, she stumbles upon some kids that only deepen the mystery. Anxiety, anger, obsession and excruciating crises mark her but always disappear from her memories. Those kid's story is her own as well: long trapped in their mind's hell. While the adult world appears so distant.
