Dreams Are the Worst
- Synopsis
- Drama concerning a young man’s efforts to integrate himself into society after a near fatal car crash. We see through his eyes a world that is frequently insensitive to the needs of people with disabilities and a society which makes a handicap a disability. Such issues as access and personal relationships are explored as well as the problems of employment and possibilities that computers offer people with disabilities. A section in the middle of the film depicts a world designed solely for those in wheelchairs.
