bennie

When Bennie turns 18, he wants it all: a real job, a passionate love life, and a place of his own. But not everyone believes he's capable. After all, he has Down syndrome. Yet Bennie refuses to be underestimated, and his relentless pursuit of independence turns his delightfully dysfunctional family upside down. With his irresistible humor and unwavering determination, he shatters stereotypes, inspiring his parents, sister, and younger brother to rediscover themselves and grow closer as a family.
