An unrequited love story, starring British autistic TV and film actor Jules Robertson. This bittersweet film tells the story of Oscar, a complex character with unique needs but the same hopes and desires as anyone. Rather than a film ‘about’ autism, LOVE invites its audience to consider the world from the viewpoint of an autistic person. We follow Oscar’s journey as he navigates the stresses and strains of daily life, taking the poetic lyrics of his favourite band The Streets, and using them as a coping mechanism when faced with uncomfortable social conundrums.
Documented human suffering is never easy to view or read about and is understandably triggering for many people, but it can be educational, and education is a key to change.

A pampered dog who gets lost and has to learn to live on his own while being flexible with surroundings.

Another uneven "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" redux that says nothing novel about its subject matter.
