For Lauri, 20, an autist unable to speak, the only key to life in general is to write with the help of Pirjo, his personal interpreter – it is Lauri’s only way to express his true thoughts. In the midst of the challenges brought on by autism, love is his highest dream. For Lauri feels he is like a bear that must be perpetually tamed, while trapped inside lives a feeling and thinking man. Although Lauri, a lover of philosophical deliberations, fears he will remain bound to the mere yearning of infinite love to the end of his days, he is able to reveal through his writings a beauty about life not perceived by everyone.
