Me Too! is the film of the year. A delightful, offbeat comedy-drama that tells an unusual love story, which challenges society’s deeply ingrained prejudices.Daniel (Pablo Pineda) and Nuria (Lola Dueñas) work together and they’re friends. Daniel is in love with Nuria, but she’s reluctant to go any further. Will Nuria eventually fall in love with Daniel? Me Too! would be a conventional “boy-meets-girl” story if wasn’t for the fact that Daniel has Down Syndrome. Touching, funny and sexy, this unconventional romantic comedy, directed by debutants Pastor and Naharro, talks openly about the desires and sexual needs of people with disabilities in a way not seen before on screen.
