My Feral Heart

Running time: 83 mins

The only difference between you and others is the size of your heart. It's not exactly prison, but the care home might as well be—and Luke wants out. A young man with Down's syndrome, he's too independent to waste his time chatting with drab housemates and following strict rules, so he breaks them, sneaks out, and discovers a life-changing friendship. Director Jane Gull delicately captures the innocence of youth mixed with a bit of fantasy. The result is a heartwarming and captivating story that asks the question: how much of what we do is based on the limits we put on ourselves? - Alexandra Avila Preceded by the short film: I Am Good; dir.
