NotesAbout a girl with cerebral palsy. After the true story of Gaby Brimmer. There aren't many films on c.p. and this is apparently fairly good if uncomfortable for some since it doesn't disguise the difficulties of disability. Gaby, like, Christy Brown, learns to type with a toe and becomes a writer.
