Jack has always wanted a little brother to play with and when Gio is born, his parents tell him that his little brother is a “special” child. From this moment onwards, Gio becomes a superhero in Jack’s mind, endowed with incredible powers, like a comic-book character. As time goes by, Jack realises that, in reality, his little brother has Down’s Syndrome and he feels it’s a secret he must keep at all costs. When Jack arrives in high school and falls for Arianna, he decides to hide his brother’s existence from the girl and from his new friends. But he can’t claim to be in love when he’s hiding such an important part of himself. The truth will soon come to light and, ultimately, Jack will allow himself to be won over by the energy and vitality of Gio, who, as a result of his unique outlook on life, will genuinely succeed in changing the world in true superhero style.
