Rory O'Shea (McAvoy) is a rebellious young man who suffers with muscular dystrophy. When he moves into a care home he meets Michael Connolly (Robertson), a man with severe cerebral palsy who can only truly communicate through the use of alphabet cards, but when Michael realises that Rory can under him when he tries to speak they form an unlikely friendship and end up moving in together.

I really enjoyed this movie, the two leads were likeable and didn't suffer from being self pitying characters. The story line was believable and didn't pander to stereotypes, and because of this what we're given is an engrossing, intriguing, and heartfelt tale of two men who have been given lemons by life but have still tried to make lemonade.
