[DVD Details]
 
 
  • Donna Selby (Kirstie Alley, TV's "Cheers") and Ricardo Thornton (Delroy Lindo, Gone in Sixty Seconds, Get Smarty) 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.
