Goyo

Goyo is an autistic man who works as a museum guide supremely instructed in the subject matter. However, aspergers leaves him with noticeable social awkwardness which he more than makes up for with an affable character and impeccable manners. He comes from a good family and lives with his sister who is a concert pianist. His brother who is a chef is also a reliable companion and confidante.

One day in the pouring rain he sees Eva and imagines her like one of the museum works of art. Something stirs in him but he cannot describe it later to his family who try to make less of it than it is.

I won't say more about the plot.

What I really liked about this film is that it showcases how we are all damaged goods and do the best we can with the circumstances we are dealt. Goyo wants the same things everyone else does and those around him have their own foibles and crosses to bear. What he lacks that behavioral normalcy he more than compensates for in astuteness for analyzing people which would be easy to overlook by those who won't see it.

In Argentinean Spanish and highly recommended.
