Portrait of Oliver Scheier, a 17-year-old who is one of 70 people with a rare degenerative disease which makes everything difficult. Inspired by the film THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY he refuses to lay down and do nothing, Scheier prepares for college and creates his art, which is his way of engaging with the world.
This is a good portrait of a young man taking on life at full steam. It is an engaging portrait that mixes his words and thoughts with a look at the difficulties of his life. It’s a film that will bring hope to those who are suffering disabilities and feel they can’t do more than sit.
Worth a look
