Motion pictures focusing on young people with Down syndrome, by nature, are too emotionally charged. This one avoids that cliché, and in a good way, too. The free-spirited, 18-year-old Nicole has Down syndrome and works in a workshop that employs disabled people in a sheltered environment. She must keep reminding her mother Monique that her daughter is not a kid anymore, although she does need more looking after than most young adults. The film contrasts Nicole's carefree attitude toward everything, including sex and her pregnancy, with her single mother's much more cumbersome effort aimed at resuscitating her own love life.
