Synopsis

WHAT I FEEL FOR YOU IS BASED ON THE REAL LIFE STORIES OF TRANSFORMATION AND TRIUMPH OF THREE VERY DIFFERENT FAMILIES.

Ana’s story tells us about her struggle so that her children, Leo and Juan, two young men with autism, get accepted by their environment. The three live many days of rejection and frustrations. Ana and her children’s need for acceptance generates a great transformation in the people around their neighborhood, her work, their school and, ultimately, society. Jorge and Diana’s story is filled with the drama experienced by a couple who can’t conceive after eight years of marriage. An unexpected event will totally change both their lives. The third story is that of Luis, a teenager with Down Syndrome who takes part in the II Latin American Special Olympics Games in Puerto Rico. His father, Carlos, is forced to accompany him and train him for the competition, building a connection between them that didn’t previously exist.
