This film tells the story of a young man (Brit) in India growing up disabled with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (Brittle Bones). He is also bisexual, which is not the easiest thing to handle in his conservative, middle class society.

The film shows us both the painful and funny sides of Brit's toils and troubles and the hurdles he bravely faces. I liked how the film presented his personal triumphs in getting on with his life and it was mostly pretty engaging. There are some strong characterisations in support.

The production values (e.g. some dodgy editing) let the film down in places, but this should not deter you if you are open to an extraordinary human interest story. You will most likely, be counting your blessings by the time the end credits roll...
