A heartfelt documentary that follows Niall McNeil, a Vancouver-based artist, a lifelong performer and a person with Down syndrome. Niall has built a unique family tree of blood and chosen relations made up of his closest friends and collaborators. Bonded together by shared creative passion and their relationships with Niall, his family includes some of Canada’s most outstanding theatrical and artistic talent. By exploring his unconventional family histories—sometimes factual, sometimes infused with fantasy, but always deeply felt—Niall’s limitless imagination drives him toward the heart of human connection.
