AT THE EDGE OF LIMITS

Three girl friends with different levels of cerebral palsy try to lead a normal life. They practice Boccia , a sport in which Portugal is Olympic Champion . The three organize a dinner party at home and they go to a disco! Although their families do not understand the limits and the needs imposed by their handicap, what we see is an enormous will to overcome them. It is a message of hope, but also a cry for public attention for the daily difficulties these people face, just because society maintains with them a faulty relation ship.
