Even people with intellectual disabilities have needs, stories and crazy acts.
A lightly humorous and provocative probe into the love life of a young man who has one less cog in his head but one more cog in his heart, and escapes from a social welfare institution on two wheels.
Laurin Petrska was born with a mild degree of mental disability and after a family tragedy and various life peripetias he ended up in the Social Welfare Institute in Kytlice, where they reassessed his disability as moderately severe, which he has since considered the true cause of all his problems. Perhaps he could have lived in an institution for the rest of his life, but he fell in love. A girl from another part of the country.
He is ready to do anything for his love Simona - to leave his whole life, including the only place he knows, and go in search of her. With a map torn out of an atlas and on a scooter. The story, at times moving, at times disturbing, at other times humorous, takes the reader to places and states of mind where they would never look.
