The RoseMan of Omaha follows Dean Battiato, a Sicilian-American man on the autism spectrum who has become a local legend selling roses in the bars and restaurants of Omaha. While spreading love to strangers, Dean quietly battles isolation, illness, and the weight of lifelong judgment. As the film uncovers his extraordinary memory for numbers and deep ties to his Sicilian heritage, a layered portrait emerges of a man far more complex than first impressions suggest.
