Description

Diagnosed with cerebral palsy at the age of two, filmmaker Alexander Freeman was raised by loving and supportive parents. But when he tells them his girlfriend is pregnant, their reaction is not what he expected. Alexander’s life is changed forever after meeting Orina at a film screening, and again when his daughter Maya is born. Alexander and Orina have a commitment ceremony, struggle with the challenges of starting a life together, and Alexander’s parents come to accept that he can fulfill his dream of having a loving family of his own.
