his childhood sweetheart Holly James, both of whom were born with
Down syndrome. This documentary follows the couple over the course
of three years, starting with their decision to get married. Their
challenges, their triumphs, and their complex, sometimes surprising
relationships with family and friends are at the heart of this
inspiring film.

Technically the film is very strong, the camera angles, original music and editing helped maintain my interest. The story moves quickly and answers the questions that come to mind about these two lives...
Because the film has such human-interest appeal, and deals with some universal themes it will appeal to a wide audience and can be useful in many ways.
