Wow! I am stingy with praise, but this little film is a beautiful testament to love and loss and survival. Truly inspiring. I find most indie and especially gay themed indie films are strictly hit and miss. Many, frankly, dwell way too much on skin and never really get below he surface of their characters. This film is the exception.
The cast is to a person just wonderful. Perfect. And let me tell you, playing a paraplegic is not an easy task. But the point I wanted to make most of all is the issue of love among the handicapped. We write the handicapped off in terms of their sexuality. We tend to find them damaged goods on the outside and never bother to take a look behind their disabilities. I think people would be surprised at how many gay men, lesbians and bi-sexual people are coming out of our military with serious physical handicaps as well as emotional trauma.
There is life and love for everyone after misfortune. Both physical misfortune and mental. This one is very much worth a look.
