Álvaro Pastor and Antonio Naharro's debut feature film centers on Daniel (Pablo Pineda), a high-functioning 34-year-old with Down syndrome. His mother (Isabel García Lorca) has been determined since his birth that he have as normal a childhood as possible, fighting for him to have the same opportunities as other kids. As a result, he, like the man who plays him, is the first European with Down's to graduate from university. Unfortunately, though, for all of his success, Daniel isn't destined for a normal love life.
At his new job at the General Office for Disabled Persons in Seville, Daniel meets Laura (Lola Dueñas), a free spirit with a troubled personal life. Their unorthodox friendship attracts attention from both his family and their co-workers, but in her he finds someone who (eventually) doesn't treat him with pity or condescension, and in him she finds a sincerity of affection lacking in...

Directors: Antonio Naharro, Álvaro Pastor Writers: Antonio Naharro, Álvaro Pastor Starring: Pablo Pineda, Lola Dueñas, Isabel García Lorca, Daniel Parejo, Lourdes Naharro At 34-years of age, Daniel (Pablo Pineda) is the first student with Down syndrome to obtain a university degree in Europe. After graduation, Daniel is hired by the Disability Services office of Seville, Spain; it is his first job -- and just another rung on Daniel’s ladder to normalcy. Daniel almost immediately starts working on the next rung, marriage, after landing the job, falling for a chain-smoking and boozy peroxide blond co-worker named Laura (Lola Dueñas). The question remains, can a “normal” woman fall in love with a man with Down syndrome? Or should Daniel just “Fall in love with women [he] can get”? Daniel explains at one point during the film that he has advanced beyond most individuals with Down syndrome because his mother (Isabel García Lorca...

I've been keeping an eye on this one for a while after having premiered at the San Sebastian fest and playing at Sundance because something about the story of a man with down syndrome going after a normal girl just got me. A Spanish film by first-time feature length co-director/writers Antonio Naharro and Álvaro Pastor, Me Too was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize in World Cinema (Drama) at Sundance and won best actor and actress along with being nominated for the Golden Seashell at San Sebastian. I can't verify this right now, but I think this is based on a true person with down who graduated from college.
Thirty-four-year-old Daniel is the first European with Down syndrome to have graduated from university. He starts a social services job in Seville, where he meets free-spirited co-worker Laura. They become fast friends, drawing the attention of both their coworkers and families.
