English Summary:

Mozart and the Whale (released as Crazy in Love in some parts of Europe) is a 2005 romantic comedy-drama film directed by Petter Næss and starring Josh Hartnett and Radha Mitchell.

Donald Morton (Josh Hartnett) is a taxi driver and drives two Japanese passengers and his pet cockatiel around Spokane, Washington. Distracted, he bumps into the back of a florist's van, damaging his stock. Unfazed, Donald and his budgie take their groceries and leave, abandoning his taxi cab and passengers. He takes his groceries to the self-help group for autistic adults. Before they head to the park to meet another autistic group, he tells one member, Gracie (Rusty Schwimmer), to gather the women and he'll gather the guys to practice telling personal stories, but keeps getting distracted by performing mathematical sums of the microwaves' depleting numbers. He notices that Isabelle Sorenson (Radha Mitchell), a new name, has signed up and tells Gracie to let her go first.

At the park, Isabelle tells the women of a childhood memory: she saw that her parents were happy an Olympian had broken a record, so in order to please her parents, and taking what she heard literally, she broke their music records. Donald tells his story to the men about his ability to do complex sums but couldn't make friends. Isabelle goes on to tell of when she was raped when she went hitch-hiking. This causes Gracie to laugh manically. Heard by Donald, he tries to calm an angry Isabelle down and they find that they have much in common and take a liking to each other.

Hungarian Summary:

Donald egy nagyon jó természetű autista taxisofőr, akinek különös érzéke van a számokhoz, imádja a madarakat, és aki mégis boldogtalan, mert emberi kapcsolataiban nem igazodik el. Mikor Isabel csatlakozik az autistákat segítő csoporthoz, végképp elveszti a talajt a lába alól, és a világ a feje tetejére áll. A két fiatal az autizmus egy speciális vállfajában, Asperger-szindrómában szenved: állapotuk képtelenné teszi őket arra, hogy kifejezzék érzéseiket egymás iránt. Kapcsolatuk alakulása sok megrázó és tréfás fordulatot rejt.
