A documentary rom-com about the next phase of marriage equality: disability.
Patrice has finally found the love of her life, Garry, who is also disabled. They want nothing more than to get married, but if they do – or even if they just move in together – the government benefits they need to survive would be cut. Despite the scrutiny they’re under, they decide to plan a commitment ceremony that could risk their entire future.
