Monica & David; Down syndrome marriage documentary
Like many other couples blissfully in love, Monica and David are getting married. Yet unlike most married couples, Monica and David have Down syndrome. Filmmaker Alexandra Codina, Monica's cousin, offers an intimate glimpse into the first year of marriage for this charismatic young couple and reveals the joys and struggles that are much the same as that of any newlywed: a longing for independence, desire for children, questions about future livelihood. An extraordinarily humane and emotionally rich film, MONICA AND DAVID follows the humor, heartbreak and considerable victories in the lives of this loving couple and their extended family.
