Synopsis

Forrest Gump

A man with a low IQ has accomplished great things in his life and been present during significant historic events—in each case, far exceeding what anyone imagined he could do. But despite all he has achieved, his one true love eludes him.

My First Love

At 19, Ella is ready to begin her adult life on her own terms. Born with a disability and having always used a wheelchair, she dreams of moving into her first apartment when she leaves home to study. Instead, a denied application for assistance forces her into an institution – a crushing blow to her long-awaited independence. Just as the walls of bureaucracy close in, Ella experiences something entirely new: her first love.
