For years I volunteered to looked after disabled children by taking them out on week long camp, going to the zoo, etc. I LOVED it, they were so funny, have so much to teach us. "Nomal" people always saw it as "we have alot to teach them", they did not to stop to see we have much to learn from them.

Thank you. I'm at my 28 years of age this year, and my whole life I have lived with my dear Uncle "Paulinho" as we - and himself - call him. He's an angel, like many we see in this film, and today he has 62 years. He's such a kind and pure soul, always smiling, and yes, hugging! I love him my whole heart and maybe that's why this movie made me tear up. My most sincere and warm hugs to the amazing cast of this short movie. I Loved it. May all those "Paulinhos" (he says that when he sees another one who has down syndrome) live happy, long and amazing lives.

@@dsjjfgI think you missed the point. The point is people treat people with DS like they’re incompetent or stupid, just because they’re different. If you judged a fish’s intelligence and competency by how well it could climb a tree, you’d be the silly one. Hence the movie. They’re treating their kid like he’s incompetent because he’s a fish in a world of monkeys. Hell the short film even connects him *with a fish* by showing it grow as he grows.

As an adult who lives life on the autism spectrum, this story is so moving. Few “normal” people can understand who I am, because of how my brain works. I was always the “odd” child, that one that other kids made fun of or were a little afraid of, because I was different. Yet, as an adult, I’ve found a place in society. I can help people in profound ways that others can’t, and am valued for that. Still, I long for the company of those like me, and so far have found none.

This is a beautiful short film that tells about people who are "different", and yet can change the world. And ultimately also a great message to all people who are affected by a disability, and also to other people, not to discriminate people with this disability.

No worries about the CGI fish. Fish generally, carp (goldfish are (several) types of carp) especially, will only grow to the maximum size their environment can support. This depends on three things; the volume of their environment, and how many of them share it (and how many other creatures are around who also need space and resources), and the available quantity of the resources needed for survival. They’re much better at it than we humans are.

Having watched many fantastic Dust films I can say without reservation that this is an absolutely outstanding piece of creative writing, directing and filming. Superb acting, excellent story telling and just enough humour combine to bring this great message across . I've immediately linked this to my friends and tonight I will sit down to watch it again with my children. Thank you for the opportunity to share this.

This is a deep story in a world with a unique definition of what's called "normal." However, the story reminds us that anyone, no matter how "different" they are, can make a positive difference. Great story!

Humbling, thought provoking and an absolute joy to watch. If I could nominate this for an award, I would! A serious wake-up call on so many levels.

very fine compassion for those that are different and putting them in a movie that they can see on the internet is such a proud moment for all of them - well done for those that organized this and followed through with the premise - you have done much to show love and give people some much needed self-esteem.

Very clever, very touching, a breath of fresh air and great acting by all. Well done!!!!

This was the most excellent production I have seen in a long time! The actors, director and support production staff did a marvelous job in conveying the fact that everyone in life can do marvelous things!! I hope to see more!! I certainly hope Hollywood is taking notes!!

This was absolutely fantastic, so well planned executed and delivered. Everyone involved deserves the highest praise ❤️

Having a sibling with Downs I was absolutely fascinated by this film. OMG!

as someone who works with developmentally disabled adults, some of whom have down syndrome, this story is absolutely wonderful. someone being different isn't bad, they can still make the world a good place ❤️

This is an insanely incredible film. The cinematography, coloring and imagination are fantastic! Beautiful acting and of course, the message is awesome!! Thoroughly enjoyed this film!! Bravo!! ❤❤❤

I love this.. this had to have been written by someone with down syndrome or a loved one of someone with DS because the innocent outlook, their hearts still shows, even though it's showing how other people treat and see them.. like there's something wrong with them, something the medical community and society feel they need to solve or fix. But nothing needs to be fixed. Nothing is broken. They're perfectly just the way they are, just as everyone is perfectly different. God bless you loves! Glad to see you all get a chance to shine!

Applause to the people that brought this together. I was both shocked that it was even done and pleasantly surprised by my enjoyment of it. Assembling the group of actors and completely flipping the idea of normalcy was nothing less than brilliant. 👍

"The people" are there, some of them even are actors, most of them can read, and write. I was honoured in my job education as Preschool/ Kindergarten teacher to do part of my training in a supportive school. As a film maker, you would just need to ask around in supportgroups, who would want to be part of a film project. It saddens me still, that disabilities are viewed as "having this or that problem", we dont say that to the visually disabled, who rely on a disability aid product called correctional lenses. Why is there still such a big issue about trisomy 23 or Autism, or even cerebral palsy? We are all unique people with unique personalities, abilities and talents.
