Contents/Summary

Summary
Roman, a young man living with autism, has never spoken a word. He communicates in other ways. Filmmaker Ramòn Giger presents a touching portrait of Roman and his caregiver, Xaver, who teaches him the dangerous skill of operating a chainsaw. Through these lessons a close but challenging friendship emerges as these two men must learn to communicate and connect. With rich cinematography that includes footage shot by Roman himself, this documentary invites audiences to enter Roman’s world, and see from his perspective right up until the breathtaking conclusion.
