Laura and Daniel are opposites, she
spends her free time at crowded
clubs and singles bars, trying to escape her problems with strangers.
Daniel is 34 years old, his life is defined and judged by the fact that he has
Down's Syndrome. Daniel falls in love with Laura on his first day at
his new job. He is a recent university graduate working in the Dept of
Social Services. His mother refused to let him be plopped into
programs, she wanted him to go to public school and worked with him to
help him achieve his full potential. Despite their differences, Laura and
Daniel form a friendship that helps them both.Life is a struggle for Daniel, he is in a category of preconceived notions because of his condition. Laura is suffering but in denial of her problems and she doesn't know any way to overcome them. In many ways Laura is in more of a struggle than Daniel. 3 1/2* (I liked this movie)
