Mozart and the Whale
Donald (Josh Hartnett) is a taxi driver who also happens to suffer from Asperger's Syndrome, a type of autism. He likes routine, birds and has a superhuman knack with numbers. In an attempt to give back to the community he sets up a support group, but his simple life is about to be turned upside down by the beautiful and complex Isabella (Radha Mitchell), also affected by AS. Based on true events this is a sweet and affectionate tale of love and mental affliction penned by the writer of 'Rain Man'.
