The Grown-Ups plot

"Kids who wanted to grow up and suddenly grew old"

Anita, Rita, Ricardo and Andrés have been attending a school for children with Down syndrome for forty years. After all these years, the safe and familiar is starting to get boring. They are over 45, and working in the school's bakery is no longer a challenge for some of them. Freedom beckons on a personal level too. Take Anita and Andrés: they are in love. But where can the lovers, who still live with their families, find a quiet place to be together? They dream of getting married and having a family. However, the society in which they live is not geared to their desire for more independence. Despite the training they receive to become "conscious adults," the four, to their frustration, remain dependent on the decisions others make about their lives.
