The Grown-Ups

Directed by Maite Alberdi

Anita, Andrés, Ricardo, and Rita, who all have Down syndrome, have been attending school for almost 40 years. Although their teachers stress the importance of developing independent life skills, they’re forced into a cloistered existence by the zealous staff, overbearing parents, and the restrictive laws that govern their actions.
