In this German film, a woman raising her children on a farm in 1967 tries to get help for her mathematically talented but anti-social son. Obtaining the services of a forward-thinking Berlin psychiatrist, she learns the true extent of her son's mathematical (and musical) abilities, but also that he has autism, a new and devastating diagnosis for a mother at that time.
I have not actually seen this 2011 made-for-TV movie whose title translates as "The Cold Sky". If you have and can add any additional details, especially any related to the mathematical aspects, please let me know. Thanks to Hauke Reddmann for suggesting that I add it to the database. |

Exciting News: The total number of works of mathematical fiction listed in this database recently reached a milestone. The 1,500th entry is The Man of Forty Crowns by Voltaire. Thanks to Vijay Fafat for writing the summary of that work (and so many others). I am also grateful to everyone who has contributed to this website. Heck, I'm grateful to everyone who visited the site. Thank you!
