#21 Down Syndrome

The people's society that is allegorically captured as a group of animals on a farm, coexists and lives harmonically. The animals get through this situation with the Human's guidance. A little girl, Phoebe, tries to teach them respect, understanding, care and love. All animals that look alike, get on well and harmony is ensured. But, what happens when this harmony is disrupted by otherness and its features? If you are taller, stronger or you have Down Syndrome? Then, what do you think is going to happen? Alto, a tall, black horse, fast and strong, wants to be member of the community of the rest of the animals, but he is not always accepted. The same happens with another animal, a baby goat that Phoebe brought on the farm. The animals meet the baby goat for the first time during an argument. Will they like it or not? The baby goat with the special eyes- characteristic of people with Down Syndrome, weak, scared, with delayed walking, speech difficulties, heart defects, high emotional intelligence and desire for learning, manages to integrate into the daily routine of the farm, until a goose's wing breaks. A fairytale dedicated to human uniqueness, to children with Down Syndrome and their families.
