“Adam” is a unique love story set against the backdrop of Manhattan. A romantic dramedy about making the strange familiar, this story is about a man named Adam who has Asperger’s Syndrome, a high functioning form of autism. Adam finds it difficult to be with others and often escapes into his love of space exploration. When Beth moves into the apartment above him, he uses his unique, often funny, and sometimes painful social skills to begin to build the personal relationship that he so desperately desires. But can their connection withstand the bombardment of society and Beth’s family crisis that continues to escalate? A moving romantic character piece that deals with the compromises people make in any relationship and obstacles to intimacy, “Adam” explores what it takes to love.
