Synopsis
When Sebastian, a wealthy, young rugby-playing man-about-town is injured in a match and confined to a wheelchair life seems to have little meaning for him. He is preyed upon by an unscrupulous pair of “friends” and he seems intent on a downward path to destruction. Enter Petula, a young physiotherapist assigned to his care and things begin to develop.
But the course of true love never runs smoothly and soon he is back on his own. His new physiotherapist, much older and wiser Val, takes over and Sebastian eventually comes to terms with his future, Petula, his disability and his attitude to life. Unusual, in as much as the leading man could actually be played by a wheelchair-bound actor.
