Alba and Anastasia are twins with cerebral palsy who touched the heart of President Clinton with their plea for equal access. They come from an extraordinary family where everyone is determined the twins will be included in all activities. The fact that they are both in wheelchairs does not keep them from school, summer camp, or church. Their mother, Mary, thinks nothing of carrying them up and down several flights of stairs in their wheelchairs. She is a woman in constant motion, bathing, dressing, feeding and taking pleasure in seeing the twins are attractively dressed. She uses her tenacity and charm to assure that her children receive all the medical and educational benefits to which they are entitled. The filmmakers became close to the family, capturing the milestones of their lives: a birthday party, days at summer camp, their joyous first communion in church. Filmed over a period of four years, this unforgettable story will inspire everyone concerned with the challenges of family life and the place of disabled children in our society.
