A tender, life-affirming romance between two disabled people in a convalescence home that centers their vitality, desire, and emotional connection despite physical limitation.

Bruce Pritchard is paralysed in a soccer game and is confined to a wheelchair in a convalescence home. But this doesn't slow his lust for life. Then he meets Jill and has to think about the effects of disability.
