The story
Eugene's life as a young Torontonian man with Down Syndrome is very limited, and many of his peers are ableist and condescending to him. He goes to school by himself (to a special education room for disabled students), where he is bullied by other students and ignored by the girl he likes. He does yard work for neighbours to earn extra money, and spends the rest of his time at home with his terminally-ill mother.
