Children with Down syndrome are often hidden away at home or in hospitals. One Emirati family and their love for their Down syndrome child form the focus of this moving documentary. Unlike some families, they are neither embarrassed nor ashamed of their child. If anything, they think he is a beautiful and special child, that he is a gift from God.
