Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is an emotionally moving story of handicapped people trying to be like "normal" people and live in our world. I found it very beleiveable and touching. I don't know why some people are so up in arms about it. It's about real life! It allows you to put yourself in their shoes and feel what they go through, or feel like in a way.

Donna Selby (Kirstie Alley) and Ricardo Thornton (Delroy Lindo) were two mentally disabled children who were taken from their parents and institutionalized. Donna was angry and afraid; she hated the heavy medications, uncompassionate staff, and had difficulty coping. Then Donna met cheerful and optimistic Ricardo, who had a calming effect on her. Their friendship blossomed over 20 years. Then they were told that the institution was closing. Patients were re-assigned to other institutions, group homes and apartments. Could Donna and Ricardo survive in the outside world? Would they be able to survive without each other? Follow the quest of this mentally disabled couple to find each other again. Feel their love and determination to fulfill their dreams of getting married, having a child, (forbidden by the Social Services Authorities) and becoming a normal family.
