Description: A sister's search to understand her brother's strange and extraordinary life. Today's Man tells the story of Nicky Gottlieb--who has grown from a genius child into a young man who doesn't quite fit in the world. At the age of 21 he is diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome--a high functioning form of Autism. The film follows Nicky as he struggles to leave the safety of his family's home and find his place in the world. It is both a personal exploration of a family drama, and a broader effort to understand this fascinating, mysterious disorder.
