Synopsis:
A dramatic, romantic comedy inspired by the lives of two people with Asperger's Syndrome,
a form of autism, whose emotional dysfunctions threaten to sabotage their budding romance.
Donald is a good-natured but hapless taxi driver with a love of birds and a superhuman knack
for numbers. Like many AS sufferers, he likes patterns and routines. But when the beautiful
but complicated Isabelle joins the autism support group he leads, his life - and his heart
- are turned upside down.
Other Titles:
- Crazy in Love (Finland/USA - working title)
Trivia
- The project was originally planned for Steven Spielberg but due to his workload it eventually
landed in the hands of critically acclaimed Norwegian director Petter Nęss. This will be his
first US production.
- The film is based on the story of Jerry and Mary Newport. They were profiled in 1995 in an LA Times article.
