Synopsis

A boy has both a rare brittle-bone disease and autism. But what makes Austin truly unique is his joyous, funny, life-affirming worldview that transforms and unites everyone around him. The boy’s father changes his life as he comes to see Austin not as the symbol of something broken, but the triumph of an indestructible spirit.
