action
The good-natured Steve Barker is forced by his boss to fire the caretaker Stavros . Since he doesn't have the heart to do this, he offers Stavros a job as a gardener for his house. In the event of an accident at work, Stavros' three fingers are severed a short time later. Since Steve didn't arrange health insurance for his new employee, he has to pay for the surgery to restore the fingers himself. He is therefore persuaded by his uncle, who is also in financial difficulties , to manipulate the Special Olympics - a competition for the mentally handicapped - by participating as an athlete himself. Everything is going pretty well until he falls in love with the tournament assistant, Lynn, and feels guilty. The mentally disabled finally train him secretly at night when they find out that he is not one of them and he tells them the reason for his cheating.
Reviews
“The comedy takes on the relationship between the mentally handicapped and the“ healthy ”with a coarse sense of humor, dispensing with sentimentality and telling not about the integration of a disabled person but about that of a“ normal person ”. Partly occupied by mentally handicapped actors, it is breaking new ground in the cinematic discussion of disabilities, but is increasingly losing momentum in terms of staging. "
