Based on the life story of Christy Brown, this touching film depicts his struggle for a normal life. Born with cerebral palsy into a very poor family, Christy was able to control movement in his left foot and speak in guttural sounds. With the help of his strong-willed and dedicated family and his own determination, Christy learns to grapple with life's simple physical tasks and complex psychological pains. Daniel Day Lewis and Brenda Fricker give Oscar winning performances in an emotional tale of life, love and one family's incredible sense of courage.
