This charming film takes viewers into the world of teenagers with special needs as they prepare for their school’s debutante ball. The pupils at the Ashwood School are all mildly intellectually disabled, though their abilities vary. On the threshold of physical adulthood, many are starting to take an interest in the opposite sex, crave more independence, and look forward to earning a living, making a home, and even starting a family. First loves, fist fights, and falls on the dance floor are intercut with interviews with parents and educators, and intimate moments in the students’ day-to-day home lives.
As the momentous event approaches, viewers share the students’ trepidations about creating a perfect evening. With their proud parents watching them mark the end of their schooling, audiences are left wondering, what does the future hold for them?
