Andrea prima di nascere era normale. Per colpa di un dottore distratto e di uno strumento che lo ha ldquo;aiutatordquo; a venire al mondo si egrave; ritrovato a convivere con una disabilitagrave; che ogni giorno lo frena nelle attivitagrave; piugrave; semplici e naturali. Per Andrea egrave; difficoltoso allacciarsi le scarpe; far entrare i bottoni nelle asole; reggere una tazza di cappuccino senza versarne il contenuto. Andrea trema; fa scatti; per questo devrsquo;essere qualcun altro a raderlo. Ma; negli anni; non si egrave; mai arreso; riuscendo a conquistare tante cose che per le persone ldquo;normalirdquo; sono banalitagrave; quasi noiose. Un rammarico: non ha imparato a nuotare; nonostante le numerose prove. Andrea ha un animo sensibile; vive in un paesino con il calore della sua famiglia attorno; scrive poesie. Ma sogna una donna accanto; una moglie. Egrave; innamorato; pur sapendo che lrsquo;oggetto del suo amore non lo corrisponderagrave; mai. Per questo soffre nellrsquo;ombra; condannato a fare da spettatore a una vita che vorrebbe vivere pienamente. Dal racconto vero di Giuseppe; ragazzo nato con la stessa problematica di Andrea; plasmato dalle parole di Laura Corsini; Non ho imparato a nuotare egrave; un sorprendente spaccato su una vita eroica e sconosciuta.
