Writer and director Ben Lewin gets his breakthrough with this inspiring drama about the sexual awakening of poet Mark O'Brian. A severely handicapped poet gets the blessing of his priest to loose his virginity with the help of a surrogate which affects all three in profound ways. Lewin hits the jackpot with a profound true story that allows its stellar cast and crew to shine. The tremendously talented John Hawkes continues to impress with another terrific performance as the lead with an equally stellar support cast that includes Helen Hunt and William H. Macy amongst others. 1001 Films' coverage of the Sundance Film Festival 2012.
