The mother of a young boy who is wheelchair bound falls in love with a high school student who aids her son in his aqua therapy classes. We get to see the extent of her loneliness through the eyes of her son Brady after she makes an inappropriate advance towards the high school student. Brady is heavy with emotion and does a great job in making the audience feel empathy for the protagonist while being sensitive in its portrayal of a parent of a child with a disability. A strong film all round!
