Product Overview
Please note: This study guide contains two versions – a full-colour guide and a text-only version for printing and referencing.
Digby and his girlfriend, trainee chef Camille Collins, have been smitten ever since they first met eight years ago in a Sydney pub. Both live with Down syndrome, and Digby is painting the story of their relationship. Now in their late thirties, the couple want to marry, but their devoted parents are resistant to their dreams of wedded bliss. Frustrated, the dynamic duo is forced to confront difficult truths about family, love, life and human limitations.
In this tender, intimate and humorous feature documentary, award-winning filmmaker Trevor Graham joins acclaimed Sydney artist and Archibald Prize finalist Digby Webster to tell a love story for our times.
