Stephen Wiltshire from London is a star among savants. Stephen is autistic. He did not speak his first words “pencil” and “paper” until he was 5.  Yet, when he was 11 he drew a perfect aerial view of London after only one helicopter ride. The filmmakers of this short decided to test his ‘living camera’ on the city of Rome.  And a helicopter ride.
