THE BOYS NEXT DOOR

The place is a communal residence in a New England city, where four special-needs men live under the supervision of an earnest, but increasingly “burned out” young social worker named Jack. 

Mingled with scenes from the daily lives of these men, where “little things” sometimes become momentous (and often very funny), are moments of great poignancy when, with touching effectiveness, we are reminded that those with special-needs, like the rest of us, want only to love and laugh and find some meaning and purpose in the brief time that they are allotted on this earth.
